175 DOSE AND LET PAINTING WITH CHARGED PARTICLES

Comparison of the Light Charged Particles on Scatter Radiation Dose in Thyroid Hadron Therapy

Bachground: Hadron therapy is a novel technique of cancer radiation therapy which employs charged particles beams, 1H and light ions in particular. Due to their physical and radiobiological properties, they allow one to obtain a more conformal treatment, sparing better the healthy tissues located in proximity of the tumor and allowing a higher control of the disease.  Objective: As it is well ...

Physics with Trapped Charged Particles

Tumor Therapy with Heavy Charged Particles

The inverse depth dose profile i.e. the increase of the dose with penetration depth make heavy charged particles like protons and heavy ions an ideal tool for the radiotherapy of deep-seated tumors. For carbon ions this good dose profile is potentiated by an additional increase in the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) towards the end of the particle range. The physical and biological basi...

Theragnostic imaging for radiation oncology : dose - painting

112 http://oncology.thelancet.com Vol 6 February 2005 Diagnostic imaging, from radiographs to CT, has been used throughout the history of radiotherapy to define the site to which the radiation should be delivered for patients with cancer. Theragnostic imaging is a method by which the radiation dose can be delivered in the four dimensions of space and time to achieve the optimum outcome after ra...
