Energy-Loss Straggling and Delta-Ray Escape in Solid-State Microdosimeters Used in Ion-Beam Therapy
Journal of Nuclear Engineering, 2022 Microdosimetry is increasingly adopted in the characterization of proton and carbon ion beams used in cancer therapy. Spectra and mean values of lineal energy calculated in frequency and dose are seen by many as the tools which, by complementing ...

Mini-TEPC Microdosimetric Study of Carbon Ion Therapeutic Beams at CNAO
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 Mono-energetic carbon ion scanning beams of 195.2 MeV/u at the Italian National Centre for Oncological Hadrontherapy (CNAO) have been used to study the microdosimetric features of an “active” carbon ion beam used in hadrontherapy.

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 11, November 2026.Abstract The anticipated clinical demand for carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) in the United States is expected to include a substantial proportion of clinically complex disease sites that require accurate, highly conformal, and adaptive treatment. These clinical needs, together with the unique physical and biological characteristics of carbon ion beams ...

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 11, November 2026.Abstract Carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) has evolved into an established clinical modality over the past three decades. Owing to its unique physical and biological characteristics, CIRT has demonstrated favorable outcomes for selected malignancies characterized by radioresistance, proximity to critical organs, locally advanced disease requiring safe ...

Microdosimetry of therapeutic proton beams
, 2021 All kinds of radiotherapy treatments aim to deliver the maximum dose of radiation to the tumour cells while sparing the surrounding healthy tissues as much as possible. However, there are many cases of conventional, photonbased, radiotherapy where it is

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Background The clinical translation of Minibeam RT (MBRT) has recently started thanks to the first human treatments recently performed. However, despite experimental evidence, the impact of the dose distribution parameters involved on the magnitude of the effect itself and the underlying radiobiological mechanisms are still only partially ...
