The future of heavy ion radiotherapy
Medical Physics, 2008Currently, there is an increasing interest in heavy ion radiotherapy (RT) and a number of new facilities are being installed in Europe and Japan. This development is accompanied by intensive technical, physical, and clinical research. The authors identify six research fields where progress is likely and propose a thesis on the expected achievements for

Respiratory gated irradiation system for heavy-ion radiotherapy
International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics, 2000In order to reduce the treatment margin of the moving target due to breathing, we developed a gated irradiation system for heavy-ion radiotherapy.The motion of a patient due to respiration is detected by the motion of the body surface around the chest wall.

Evaluation of beam wobbling methods for heavy‐ion radiotherapy
Medical Physics, 2008The National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS) has extensively studied carbon‐ion radiotherapy at the Heavy‐Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC) with some positive outcomes, and has established its efficacy. Therefore, efforts to distribute the therapy to the general public should be made, for which it is essential to enable direct ...

Heavy Ion Radiotherapy at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory
IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 1983Heavy ion radiotherapy potentially offers both dose localization and biologic advantages over conventional radiations in the treatment of cancer. Approximately 400 patients have been treated with either helium , carbon, neon, argon or silicon beams. Aspects of particle therapy are reviewed.

Influence of fragment reaction of relativistic heavy charged particles on heavy-ion radiotherapy
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2003 The production of projectile fragments is one of the most important, but not yet perfectly understood, problems to be considered when planning for the utilization of high-energy heavy charged particles for radiotherapy. This paper reports our investigation of the fragments' fluence and linear energy transfer (LET) spectra produced from various incident

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2000
Heavy-ion radiotherapy using high-energy carbon beams has been performed at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences, Japan. The physical frame works for heavy-ion radiotherapy are established using physical understandings of radiation physics. In order to increase the accuracy of heavy-ion radiotherapy, many physical problems should be solved ...

On the probability of cure for heavy-ion radiotherapy
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2014The probability of a cure in radiation therapy (RT)-viewed as the probability of eventual extinction of all cancer cells-is unobservable, and the only way to compute it is through modeling the dynamics of cancer cell population during and post-treatment.

Treatment planning for heavy ion radiotherapy
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1979A computerized treatment planning system based on quantitative information in computerized tomographic (CT) scans has been developed for the heavy ion radiotherapy trials at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. The CT number of each pixel is converted to a water equivalent length and used in the calculation of isoeffect dose distributions from multiport ...
