NEUTRON CAPTURING THERAPY SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A61N5/10 G21K1/00 G21K5/00 H05H13/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medical equipment, namely to a neutron capturing therapy system. System comprises a beam forming unit comprising a beam input, a neutron generator located in a beam forming unit, which is configured to enter into a nuclear reaction with a falling beam of protons from the beam input to produce neutrons, a retarder adjacent to the neutron generator, wherein the retarder is configured to slow the neutrons to energies of epithermal neutrons, a reflector surrounding the neutron generator and a retarder configured to divert the diverted neutrons back to intensify the beam of epithermal neutrons, beam output and at least one movable element configured to move away from the neutron generator or approaching thereto, wherein the movable member is movable between the first position and the second position, wherein when the movable member is in the first position, neutron generator is replaceable, and when the movable element is in the second position, the neutron generator is non-replaceable. Deflector has first connecting part, and moving element has second connecting part, at that, when movable element is in first position, the first connecting part and the second connecting part are separated, and when the movable element is in the second position, the first connecting part and the second connecting part are connected.

EFFECT: use of the invention makes it possible to simplify replacement of the neutron generator in case of damage or if necessary.
