Evaluation of resistive-plate-chamber-based TOF-PET applied to in-beam particle therapy monitoring [PDF]

, 2015
Particle therapy is a highly conformal radiotherapy technique which reduces the dose deposited to the surrounding normal tissues. In order to fully exploit its advantages, treatment monitoring is necessary to minimize uncertainties related to the dose ...

Dosimetric comparison study between intensity modulated radiation therapy and three-dimensional conformal proton therapy for pelvic bone marrow sparing in the treatment of cervical cancer. [PDF]

, 2010
The objective was to compare intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with 3D conformal proton therapy (3DCPT) in the treatment of cervical cancer. In particular, each technique's ability to spare pelvic bone marrow (PBM) was of primary interest in ...

On the accuracy of Monte Carlo based beam dynamics models for the degrader in proton therapy facilities

, 2018
In a cyclotron-based proton therapy facility, the energy changes are performed by means of a degrader of variable thickness. The interaction of the proton beam with the degrader creates energy tails and increases the beam emittance.

Scintillating fiber devices for particle therapy applications [PDF]

, 2018
Particle Therapy (PT) is a radiation therapy technique in which solid tumors are treated with charged ions and exploits the achievable highly localized dose delivery, allowing to spare healthy tissues and organs at risk.

Proton beam therapy for a giant hepatic hemangioma: A case report and literature review

Clinical and Translational Radiation Oncology, 2021
Background: Hepatic hemangiomas are benign tumors with a favorable prognosis, but giant hepatic hemangiomas can cause abdominal symptoms and are indicated for treatment. Most cases are treated with surgery, but radiotherapy has also been used.

Dosimetric evidence confirms computational model for magnetic field induced dose distortions of therapeutic proton beams

, 2017
Given the sensitivity of proton therapy to anatomical variations, this cancer treatment modality is expected to benefit greatly from integration with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.

Local treatment failure after globe-conserving therapy for choroidal melanoma. [PDF]

, 2013
Local treatment failure after globe-conserving therapy for choroidal melanoma is a surgical complication with significant morbidity to the vision and eye. Few reports in the literature have addressed this complication exclusively.
