PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a charged particle radiation irradiation apparatus with high maintainability.SOLUTION: This invention relates to a proton therapy apparatus 10 for irradiating an object to be irradiated with charged particle radiation. The proton therapy apparatus 10 includes: a cyclotron 2 for accelerating charged particles and emitting charged particle radiation an irradiation nozzle 11 for irradiating the object to be irradiated with the charged particle radiation a transportation line 3 connecting the cyclotron 2 and the irradiation nozzle 11 a gantry 12 in which the irradiation nozzle 11 is disposed to support the transportation line 3, and which can be rotated or oscillated around a prescribed center axis P and X-ray equipment 60 having an X-ray irradiation section 61 and an X-ray detection section 62 for obtaining an X-ray image of the object to be irradiated. A radiography controller 89 for controlling at least one of the X-ray irradiation section 61 and X-ray detection section 62 is set on the outer periphery of the gantry 12.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】メンテナンス性の高い荷電粒子線照射装置を提供する。【解決手段】本発明は、荷電粒子線を被照射体へ照射する陽子線治療装置10であって、荷電粒子を加速して荷電粒子線を出射するサイクロトロン2と、荷電粒子線を被照射体に向けて照射する照射ノズル11と、サイクロトロン2と照射ノズル11とを繋ぐ輸送ライン3と、照射ノズル11が配置され、輸送ライン3を支持すると共に、所定の中心軸線Pを中心として回転又は揺動が可能なガントリー12と、X線照射部61及びX線検出部62を有し、被照射体のX線画像を取得するX線撮影装置60と、を備え、X線照射部61及びX線検出部62のうち少なくとも一方を制御するX線撮影用制御器89は、ガントリー12の外周上に設置されている。【選択図】図2
