An X-ray needle module for local radiation therapy according to the present invention includes: an X-ray generating part (100) which is supplied with external electric power and generates X-rays (101); and an X-ray needle forming part (200) which collects the X-rays (101) generated by the X-ray generating part (100) and extracts the collected X-rays into high-intensity short-wavelength parallel X-rays (201) so as to form an X-ray needle, wherein the X-ray needle forming part (200) includes a housing (210) with an entrance hole (211) at one surface through which the X-rays generated by the X-ray generating part (100) enter and an exit hole (212) at another surface through which the X-ray needle exits, the X-ray needle, provided in the housing, which collects the X-rays generated by the X-ray generating part (100) and forms the X-ray needle of the high-intensity short-wavelength parallel X-rays (201), and a position controller (300), provided at a leading end of the X-ray mirror (220), which controls an installation angle of the X-ray mirror. According to the present invention, the X-rays generated by the X-ray generating part may be collected using the X-ray mirror so as to form the high-intensity short-wavelength parallel X-rays. Then, the high-intensity short-wavelength parallel X-rays may serve as the X-ray needle and may be locally radiated to cancer tissue so as to minimize damage to healthy tissues in the human body. Further, since the X-rays generated by the X-ray generating part may be extracted into the high-intensity short-wavelength parallel X-rays using the X-ray mirror, a simplified structure and a competitive price may be achieved. Further, the X-ray needle module may be coupled to a robot structure so as to enable multiple degrees of freedom (DOF), thereby achieving greater precision and effectiveness in the treatment of cancer. |
