Carbon Ion Radiotherapy at the Gunma University Heavy Ion Medical Center: New Facility Set-up
Carbon ion radiotherapy (C-ion RT) offers superior dose conformity in the treatment of deep-seated tumors compared with conventional X-ray therapy. In addition, carbon ion beams have a higher relative biological effectiveness compared with protons or X-ray beams. C-ion RT for the first patient at Gunma University Heavy Ion Medical Center (GHMC) was initiated in March of 2010. The major specific...
متن کاملOperation of Keigm for the Carbon Ion Therapy Facility at Gunma University
Carbon-ion radiotherapy is being carried out at Gunma University Heavy Ion Medical Centre (GHMC) since March 2010. A compact electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS) for GHMC, so-called KeiGM, supplies carbon 4+ ions for treatment. The general structure of KeiGM was copied from a prototype compact source, socalled Kei2. Based on experimental studies for production of carbon 4+ ions with ...

server that hosts the hospital’s electronic medical records system, and for the internal memory of all client terminals. The hospital also decided to improve network performance for the accelerated storage platform. “By connecting backend servers, the existing 1 Gbps metal network could be upgraded to 10 Gbps optical fiber, which hugely boosts transmission speed,” explained Torikai. “We have ad...
متن کاملThe compact electron cyclotron resonance ion source KeiGM for the carbon ion therapy facility at Gunma University.
A high-energy carbon-ion radiotherapy facility is under construction at Gunma University Heavy Ion Medical Centre (GHMC). Its design was based on a study of the heavy ion radiotherapy at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS) in order to reduce the size and construction cost of the facility. A compact electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS) for Gunma University, called K...
متن کاملTranslational Research to Improve the Efficacy of Carbon Ion Radiotherapy: Experience of Gunma University
Carbon ion radiotherapy holds great promise for cancer therapy. Clinical data show that carbon ion radiotherapy is an effective treatment for tumors that are resistant to X-ray radiotherapy. Since 1994 in Japan, the National Institute of Radiological Sciences has been heading the development of carbon ion radiotherapy using the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba. The Gunma University Heavy ...
