Development of heavy-ion radiotherapy facility in Japan
Development of heavy-ion radiotherapy facility in JapanHeavy-ion beams are very suitable for deeply-seated cancer treatment not only owing to their high dose localization around the Bragg peak, but also owing to the high biological effect there. NIRS, therefore, constructed HIMAC as the world’s first heavy-ion accelerator facility dedicated to medical use.

Review on heavy ion radiotherapy facilities and related ion sources
Review on heavy ion radiotherapy facilities and related ion sourcesHeavy ion radiotherapy awakens worldwide interest recently. The clinical results obtained by the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences in Japan have clearly demonstrated the advantages of carbon ion radiotherapy. Presently, there are four facilities for heavy ion radiotherapy in operation, and several
