Commissioning of the world's first compact pencil‐beam scanning proton therapy system
This paper summarizes clinical commissioning of the world's first commercial, clinically utilized installation of a compact, image-guided, pencil-beam scanning, intensity-modulated proton therapy system, the IBA Proteus® ONE, at the Willis-Knighton Cancer Center (WKCC) in Shreveport, LA. The Proteus® ONE is a single-room, compact-gantry system employing a cyclotron-generated proton beam with im...
متن کاملCommissioning and initial experience with the first clinical gantry‐mounted proton therapy system
The purpose of this study is to describe the comprehensive commissioning process and initial clinical experience of the Mevion S250 proton therapy system, a gantry-mounted, single-room proton therapy platform clinically implemented in the S. Lee Kling Proton Therapy Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, MO, USA. The Mevion S250 system integrates a compact synchrocyclotron with a C-inne...
متن کاملDevelopment of Compact Proton Beam Therapy System for Moving Organs
Masumi Umezawa Futaro Ebina Yusuke Fujii Koji Matsuda Kazuo Hiramoto Kikuo Umegaki, Ph.D. Hiroki Shirato, M.D., Ph.D. OVERVIEW: The use of particle beams in treating cancer, both in Japan and overseas, is growing in recognition of their ability to precisely target the dose of radiation on the cancerous tumor while minimizing the impact on surrounding organs. In particular, it is anticipated tha...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Scanning System for Proton Therapy in Uppsala
A scanned proton beam yields dose distributions that in most cases are superior to other external radiation treatment modalities, and also to passively scattered proton beams. The present paper gives a description of the scanning system that has been developed at the The Svedberg Laboratory (TSL) in Uppsala. The solution with a small polegap of the magnets and a moveable second magnet gives a v...
متن کاملBeam Commissioning of the New Proton Therapy System for University of Tsukuba
Beam commissioning of the new proton therapy system for University of Tsukuba was started in September 2000. The present system employs a synchrotron with a maximum energy of 250MeV and two rotating gantries. The beam was successfully accelerated up to 250MeV and transported to the irradiation nozzles. The position of the beam extracted from the synchrotron was confirmed to be very stable and s...
