Patent ID: 8002466

Claim:
Irradiation verification apparatus for beam therapy systems, the irradiation verification apparatus comprising: a container having an insert comprising cell support holders and cell supports, wherein living cell material is fixed in location in the three spatial co-ordinates x, y and z in the container having the insert, on the cell supports of the insert, wherein the cell supports are arranged between the cell support holders and, for irradiation verification, the z co-ordinate of the irradiation verification apparatus is adjusted in the direction of the beam axis Z such that, after the irradiation, regions having killed cell material can be demarcated in spatial co-ordinates, with reference to an irradiation scheme, from regions having cell material of the irradiation verification apparatus that is still active, wherein the container having the insert and the cell supports and the cell support holders comprise a beam-transparent material, wherein the cell support holders have a base plate and a top plate located opposite the base plate, between which the cell supports are arranged orthogonally to holding plates, the holding plates having blind holes aligned with one another, in which ends of the cell supports are arranged, and wherein the cell supports are solid rods, on the outer surfaces of which the cell material is fixed.
