First in-beam tests on simultaneous PET and Compton imaging aimed at quasi-real-time range verification in hadron therapy [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022
Hadron therapy with protons has advantages with respect to conventional radiotherapy because of the maximization of the dose at the Bragg peak. As a drawback, and because of different systematic uncertainty sources, a quasi-real time monitoring for the ...

Out-of-field neutron radiation from clinical proton, helium, carbon, and oxygen ion beams. [PDF]

Med Phys
Abstract Background In hadron therapy, out‐of‐field doses, which may in the long‐term cause secondary cancers, are mostly due to neutrons. Very recently, 4He and 16O beams have been added to protons and 12C ions for clinical therapy. Purpose The focus of this article is to compare secondary neutron doses produced by clinical protons, 4He, 12C, and 16O ...

Hadron Therapy Based on Laser Acceleration in the Plasma Channel Using Oxygen Ionization

IEEE Access, 2019
In a cancer radiation treatment, Hadron therapy plays an important role as a technique with a high accuracy providing treatment results better than conventional radiation therapy methods such as chemotherapy. The laser-based Hadron therapy techniques are

Monitoring of hadrontherapy treatments by means of charged particle detection

Frontiers in Oncology, 2016
The interaction of the incoming beam radiation with the patient body in hadrontherapy treatments produces secondary charged and neutral particles, whose detection can be used for monitoring purposes and to perform an on-line check of beam particle range.

Laser-driven helium ion acceleration for hadron therapy [PDF]

, 2016
Laser acceleration of helium ions from near-critical density targets is studied as an ion source for hadron therapy of oncological diseases. Helium ions are considered a promising candidate for therapy due to higher precision in dose deposition and ...

High-gradient and high-efficiency linear accelerators for hadron therapy [PDF]

, 2018
Hadron beams - approximately 200 MeV protons and 400 MeV/u fully stripped carbon ions - are better suited to treat deep-seated tumours than X ray beams - produced by electrons accelerated by linear accelerators (linacs) to 5-25 MeV - because they leave ...
