Abstract
A boron neutron capture therapy system includes a beam shaping body with a proton channel and a replaceable target assembly slidably disposed inside the proton channel, where a current monitoring apparatus is disposed outside the beam shaping body, the target assembly is provided with a moving contact, and the current monitoring apparatus is provided with a stationary contact forming a moving contact conductive mode with the moving contact. For the boron neutron capture therapy system, the current monitoring apparatus and the target assembly are connected through a moving contact conductive mode, avoiding the influence on the movement, automatic replacement, storage and the like of the target assembly caused by hard-wired connection, operations such as automatic adjustment, contact for power-on and non-contact for power-off can be performed, a target current can be measured and read in real time under full automation, the manual disconnection operation is not needed.
