Title:
PRODUCT TO TAILOR DISTRIBUTIONS OF ENERGY DEPOSITION BY A HIGH ENERGY PHOTON BEAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005052951
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A product (11,11A) tailors energy deposition. In one form, the product includes a magnetic field. The magnetic field is in a pre-set tailoring relationship with a body(31,31A, 31B), a target volume (21, 21A, 21B) in the body, and a electron-photon cascade in the body produced by a photon beam (41, 41A, 41B), where the photon beam and the electron-photon cascade are substantially parallel to a beam path. In one form, the magnetic field has a component non-parallel to the beam path in the target volume, which is at least one hundred gauss. The target volume having a target density and the body having a body density proximal the target volume. In one form, the tailoring relationship causes a desired distribution of energy deposited in the body and the target volume.
