Development of NIRS Pencil Beam Scanning System for Carbon Ion Radiotherapy
, 2016 At Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC), more than 10000 patients have been successfully treated by carbon ion beams since 1994. The successful results of treatments have led us to construct a new treatment facility equipped with a three ...

Neutrons in proton pencil beam scanning: Parameterization of energy, quality factors and RBE
, 2016 The biological effectiveness of neutrons produced during proton therapy in inducing cancer is unknown, but potentially large. In particular, since neutron biological effectiveness is energy dependent, it is necessary to estimate, besides the dose ...

Effects of Defining Realistic Compositions of the Ocular Melanoma on Proton Therapy
Journal of Biomedical Physics and Engineering, 2014 Background: Recent studies in eye plaque brachytherapy have shown a considerable difference between the dosimetric results using water phantom and a model of human eye containing realistic materials. In spite of this fact, there is a lack of simulation

Improving the precision and performance of proton pencil beam scanning
, 2012 In this report we present the technical features of Gantry 2, the new second generation scanning system of PSI. On the basis of the experience and success with the first prototype, Gantry 1, built in the 90s for introducing pencil beam scanning and IMPT into the field of proton therapy, we have recently implemented a new system capable of offering much
