On the Role of Single Particle Irradiation and Fast Timing for Efficient Online-Control in Particle Therapy

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2020
Within the frame of the CLaRyS collaboration, we discuss the assets of using a reduced-intensity in vivo treatment control phase during one or a few beam spots at the beginning of a particle therapy session.

Radiation dose constraints for organs at risk in neuro-oncology; the European Particle Therapy Network consensus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Purpose: For unbiased comparison of different radiation modalities and techniques, consensus on delineation of radiation sensitive organs at risk (OARs) and on their dose constraints is warranted.

A Single-Particle Trigger for Time-of-Flight Measurements in Prompt-Gamma Imaging

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2020
Tracking of single particles accelerated by synchrotrons is a subject that crosses several physics fields. The high clinical intensities used in particle therapy that can exceed 109 p/s make this task very challenging. The tracking of the arrival time of

Layout optimization of the beam spot locations scanned by electromagnets in particle beam therapy

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal, 2022
This paper presents a layout optimization method of the spot locations of pencil beam scanning for particle beam cancer therapy. With the pencil beam scanning technique, the particle beam is scanned from spot to spot in the tumor by using scanning ...

Beam Transport Systems for Particle Therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The beam transport system between accelerator and patient treatment location in a particle therapy facility is described. After some general layout aspects the major beam handling tasks of this system are discussed. These are energy selection, an optimal

Does uncertainty in variability in relative biological effectiveness affect patient treatment in proton therapy? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Clinical treatment with protons uses the concept of relative biological effectiveness (RBE) to convert the absorbed dose into an RBE-weighted dose that equals the dose for radiotherapy with photons causing the same biological effect. Currently, in proton
