1. A neutron capture therapy system comprising:
a neutron generation device for generating a neutron beam, including:
a neutron beam generator for generating the neutron beam,
a moderator for slowing down the neutron beam to an epithermal neutron energy range, and
a reflector for guiding deflected neutrons back to the moderator,
an irradiation room for irradiating an irradiated body with the neutron beam, and
a placement table for supporting the irradiated body, wherein the placement table is accommodated in the irradiation room,
wherein the placement table comprises:
a placement member for supporting a patient,
an adjustment device for adjusting a spatial position of the placement member,
a driving rod connected between the adjustment device and the placement member, and
a first shielding member covering the adjustment device, wherein the first shielding member prevents the adjustment device from being irradiated by radioactive rays, the adjustment device drives the driving rod to move to adjust the spatial position of the placement member, and the first shielding member is provided with a through slot providing a receiving space for the driving rod to move.
