Experimental validation of Geant4 nuclear interaction models in dose calculations of therapeutic carbon ion beams

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 52, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Background The choice of nuclear interaction models in Monte Carlo simulations affects the dose calculation accuracy for light ion beam therapy. Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the dose calculation accuracy and simulation time of three GATE‐RTiON/Geant4 physics lists for therapeutic carbon ion beams, assessing their suitability for ...

Reconstruction from truncated projections using constrained total-variation minimization applied to PET for hadron-therapy monitoring

open access: yes, 2012
Hadron-therapy exploits light ions to treat tumors by maximizing the dose released to the target and sparing healthy tissues. With hadrons, the dose distribution rises sharply at the end of the range, providing the Bragg peak, and drops quickly to a ...

Field output correction factors using a scintillation detector

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 52, Issue 6, Page 4844-4861, June 2025.
Abstract Background As small radiation fields play an ever‐increasing role in radiation therapy, accurate dosimetry of these fields becomes critical to ensure high quality dose calculation and treatment optimization. Despite the availability of several small volume dose detectors, small field dosimetry remains challenging.

A comparative analysis of GEANT4, MCNP6 and FLUKA on proton‐induced gamma‐ray simulation

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 52, Issue 6, Page 4862-4870, June 2025.
Abstract Background Precise range verification is essential in proton therapy to minimize treatment margins due to the steep dose fall‐off of proton beams. The emission of secondary radiation from nuclear reactions between incident particles and tissues stands out as a promising method for range verification. Two prominent techniques are PET and Prompt

ENLIGHT: European network for Light ion hadron therapy

open access: yes, 2018
The European Network for Light Ion Hadron Therapy (ENLIGHT) was established in 2002 following various European particle therapy network initiatives during the 1980s and 1990s (e.g. EORTC task group, EULIMA/PIMMS accelerator design).

Assessing proton plans with three different beam delivery systems versus photon plans for head and neck tumors

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Purpose To compare plan quality among photon volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and intensity‐modulated proton therapy (IMPT) with robustness using three different proton beam delivery systems with various spot size (σ) ranges: cyclotron‐generated proton beams (CPBs) (σ: 2.7–7.0 mm), linear accelerator proton beams (LPBs) (σ: 2.9–5.5 mm),

A multi-site microdosimeter for clinical beam characterization

open access: yesFrontiers in Sensors
Different types of radiation cause varying levels of biological damage, even when the physical dose is the same, due to the unique way energy is distributed at the subcellular level.
