Beam Diagnostics for Medical Accelerators*
The Optimization of Medical Accelerators (OMA) is the aim of a new European Training Network that has received 4 ME of funding within the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Union. OMA joins universities, research centers and clinical facilities with industry partners to address the challenges in treatment facility design and optimization, numerical simulations for the development of advance...
متن کاملA Beam Energy Analysis and Monitoring System for Linear Accelerators
A model-bssed beam orbit simulation program has been used successfully to analyze the beam energy errors 'at the two-mile linear accelerator during commissioning of the SLC system. Thii simulation program has also been used to develop a nondestructive beam energy error monitoring system. The method of tUdyBi8, the simulation program, and a beam energy analysis and monitoring system using expert...
متن کاملNew Method of Quality Control Test for Light and Radiation Field Coincidence in Medical Linear Accelerators
Introduction: The evaluation of X-ray and light field coincidence in linear accelerators as a quality control test is often performed subjectively, involving the manual marking of films and their visual inspection following the irradiation. Therefore, the present study aimed to develop an objective method for the performance of this test leading to the increased levels...
متن کاملBeam Diagnostics for the HIT and CNAO medical accelerators
A. Peters, M. Schwickert, A. Reiter and C. Dorn, GSI, Darmstadt, Germany Introduction In June 2003 it was decided that the GSI Beam Diagnostics (BD) group would act as contractor for the delivery of beam diagnostic devices for the heavy-ion cancer therapy facility HIT in Heidelberg. The contract included the production of the mechanical parts (feed-throughs, detectors etc.) as well as the integ...
متن کاملMedical Applications of Electron Linear Accelerators
The role of radiation therapy in cancer management is first defined: today among the cancer patients who are cured (≅ 45 %) about one half are cured by radiation therapy applied alone or in combination with surgery or chemotherapy. The experience accumulated in decades shows that, to be efficient, the radiation treatment must be delivered with a high physical selectivity. At present, electron l...
