| Abstract;Synchrotron radiation(SR) has the advantage of generating intense monochromatic x-ray for diagnostic medical imaging. We have a plan of construction of a synchrotron light source dedicated to the medical applications at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences. Final goal of the plan is a compact light source to install in a hospital to utilize for medical diagnoses or radiotherapy. A typical application of the SR is an intravenous coronary angiography(CAG) which has been clinically applied to examinees. Monochromatic x-ray Computed Tomography plays an important role in advancing heavy ion radiotherapy being done at the NIRS. Furthermore, advanced medical diagnoses using the monochromatic x-rays are useful for obtaining more accurately diagnostic information on cancer. They will help not only find out a cancer at the early stage, but know the characteristics of the tumor in vivo and select an optimal treatment. In this paper, we would like to introduce purposes of the SR medical applications and to discuss about photon flux repuirements for the applications. Finally a compact synchrotron light source designed to be optimized for the photon flux requirement for the CAG is reported. (author abst.) |
