Analysis of a Novel Toroidal Configuration for Hadron Therapy Gantries [PDF]

, 2021
Hadron therapy refers to a medical treatment that uses hadron beams (i.e. protons and ions) to deliver localized energy that suppresses cancerous cells, sparing the neighbouring healthy tissues from unwanted radiation. The major technical components of a

What kind of radiobiology should be done at a hadron therapy center [PDF]

, 1997
Although therapy with heavy particles like neutrons, protons or heavier ions has now a rather long history of several decades, but there are more open questions than settled problems. This fact is really amazing because the use of the high LET particles,

Technical design of hadron therapy facilities [PDF]

, 1993
Radiation therapy with hadron beams now has a 40-year track record at many accelerator laboratories around the world, essentially all of these originally physics-research oriented. The great promise shown for treating cancer has led the medical community

Unique Performance Considerations for Printable Organic Semiconductor and Perovskite Radiation Detectors: Toward Consensus on Best Practice Evaluation

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 21, 12 March 2026.
A lack of standard approaches for testing and reporting the performance of metal halide perovskites and organic semiconductor radiation detectors has resulted in inconsistent interpretation of performance parameters, impeding progress in the field. This Perspective recommends key metrics and experimental details, which are suggested for reporting in ...

Monte Carlo study on fetal dose assessment for carbon beam craniospinal irradiation during pregnancy

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Background Radiotherapy may be suggested for pregnant cancer patients when treatment cannot be delayed, with careful targeting to minimize fetal dose. Considering that a successful case for a pregnant patient treated with proton beam craniospinal irradiation (CSI) was reported, carbon therapy can be also considered applicable for the CSI ...

Measurement of microdosimetric spectra of high‐LET particle beams using the ENCORE detector

Medical Physics, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Background Heavy ion radiotherapy offers distinct advantages over conventional treatments due to its superior dose distribution and enhanced biological effectiveness. However, the microdosimetric characteristics of high linear energy transfer (LET) ions, particularly near the Bragg peak, remain poorly characterized.
