Abstract
The present disclosure falls into the field of medical apparatus, and discloses a radiation therapy apparatus and a beam imaging method, wherein the radiation therapy apparatus includes: a treatment head including multiple radiation sources distributed on one side of a target region, radiation beams emitted by the multiple radiation sources intersecting in the target region, and a lesion being located within the target region; a beam detector used for receiving a radiation beams passing through the lesion and emitted by the radiation sources to acquire projection data of each radiation beam passing through the lesion, and generating a slice image of the lesion according to the acquired projection data; and a processor used for constructing an image of the lesion in the target region based on the slice image generated by the beam detector. The radiation therapy apparatus of the present disclosure can implement a three-dimensional imaging process in real time, the treatment head of the beam therapy apparatus can be directly used for tracking tumors, and the human body can be positioned according to the reconstructed three-dimensional image before surgery.
