Abstract:
The invention provides a particle therapy system in which whether to perform any one irradiation method of a raster scanning method and a discrete spot scanning method can also be selected based on previous selection depending on a target volume  41  of a patient  4  to be irradiated, and either of the irradiation methods of the raster scanning method and the discrete spot scanning method is configured to be capable of being performed by one irradiation apparatus  500 . Therefore, a small particle therapy system capable of achieving both higher accuracy irradiation and high dose rate improvement is provided.

Claim (Index 1):
A particle therapy system that divides an irradiation object into a plurality of small regions and sequentially irradiates the plurality of small regions with a particle beam, comprising:\n an accelerator that accelerates the particle beam; an irradiation apparatus that irradiates a target with the particle beam accelerated by the accelerator; and a control system that controls the accelerator and the irradiation apparatus, wherein the accelerator, the irradiation apparatus, and the control system are capable of performing, with the irradiation apparatus, both irradiation methods of an irradiation method in which irradiation of the particle beam is not stopped when moving to the next small region and an irradiation method in which irradiation of the particle beam is stopped.
