Towards Laser Driven Hadron Cancer Radiotherapy: A Review of Progress [PDF]
, 2014 It has been known for about sixty years that proton and heavy ion therapy is a very powerful radiation procedure for treating tumours. It has an innate ability to irradiate tumours with greater doses and spatial selectivity compared with electron and ...

MONDO: A neutron tracker for particle therapy secondary emission fluxes measurements [PDF]
, 2017 A charged particle passing through matter releases a considerable amount of energy at the end of its path. Thus, thanks to the spatial distribution of the deposited energy, particle therapy allows treating tumors with greater accuracy and efficiency than

Proton-counting radiography for proton therapy: a proof of principle using CMOS APS technology [PDF]
, 2014 Despite the early recognition of the potential of proton imaging to assist proton therapy (Cormack 1963 J. Appl. Phys. 34 2722), the modality is still removed from clinical practice, with various approaches in development. For proton-counting radiography

Clinical consequences of relative biological effectiveness variations in proton radiotherapy of the prostate, brain and liver [PDF]
, 2013 Proton relative biological effectiveness (RBE) is known to depend on the (alpha/beta)(x) of irradiated tissues, with evidence of similar to 60% variation over (alpha/beta)(x) values from 1-10 Gy.

Towards 3D printed multifunctional immobilization for proton therapy: initial materials characterization [PDF]
, 2016 Purpose: 3D printing technology is investigated for the purpose of patient immobilization during proton therapy. It potentially enables a merge of patient immobilization, bolus range shifting, and other functions into one single patient-speci c structure.
