Proton radiotherapy becomes increasingly important in external radiotherapy. In particular, proton beam radiation therapy is the most successful and almost non-alternative method of radiation treatment of patients with intraocular malignant neoplasms. However, currently, the chairs for positioning patients during proton radiation therapy in the treatment rooms using the fixed proton beam direction do not have the functions of positioning the fixed head and neck. This article presents a new design of a chair for proton radiation therapy with a head and neck positioning device, which is being developed as part of the creation of a research complex for proton radiation therapy of patients with ophthalmic oncology based on the cyclotron C80 at the NRC “Kurchatov Institute” – PNPI. The proposed design of the robotic therapeutic chair is based on the theory of U-TRIZ and ergonomics requirements. The main components of the chair are the mechanism for adjusting the patient position and the device for head fixation device. According to design results, the following analyzes were carried out: weight pressure analysis in order to identify the chair parts, that do not support the required weight, and kinematic analysis for the mechanism that adjusts the chair position. Proposed structure of chair for proton radiotherapy meets requirements for correction of posture and performs function of head and neck positioning.
