A PET Prototype for “In-Beam” Monitoring of Proton Therapy

IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 2007
The in-beam PET is a novel PET application to image the beta+ activity induced in biological tissues by hadronic therapeutic beams. Thanks to the correlation existing between beam-delivered dose profiles and beam-induced activity profiles, in vivo information about the effective ion paths can be extracted from the in-beam pet image.

Proton radiography for relativistic proton beam therapy

Medical Imaging 2018: Physics of Medical Imaging, 2018
Proton beam radiation therapy is at the forefront of modern techniques for cancer treatment, due to its high level of radiation-dose deposition accuracy. This treatment accuracy, however, is limited by the ability to position the treatment beam within the patient's anatomy.

Proton Beam Therapy for Pediatric Malignancies

Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing, 2015
Although major advances have been made in radiation techniques, concerns still exist about the treatment-related acute and long-term side effects. This issue is most notable in the pediatric population because of developing organs and tissues combined with longer life expectancies.

An Introduction to Proton Beam Therapy

2012
Dr. Robert Wilson described the rationale for using proton beam therapy for the treatment of cancer as early as 1946. The early proton facilities were mainly physics research laboratories that seldom treated patients with cancer. We now have several dedicated proton facilities for the treatment of cancer. There are several current clinical applications

Proton Beam Therapy for Sarcomas

2012
Sarcomas are relatively rare malignancies that can occur in various ­different parts of the body. There is a growing body of literature supporting the use of proton beam therapy in the radiotherapeutic management of sarcomas. The sharper dose falloff with proton beam therapy compared with photons makes proton beam therapy suitable in patients who have ...

A review of proton beam radiation therapy

Medical Physics, 1995
Beams of protons have been used for radiation treatment for approximately 40 years. This paper provides a short summary of activities from institutions that have contributed to the field over this period. The paper reviews some of the basic interactions of protons with matter that are relevant to radiation treatment and summarizes current knowledge ...
