Status of the Medaustron Ion Beam Therapy Centre
MedAustron is a synchrotron based light-ion beam therapy centre for cancer treatment as well as for clinical and non-clinical research currently in its construction phase. The accelerator design is based on the CERNPIMMS study [1] and its technical implementation by CNAO. This paper presents a status overview over the whole project detailing the achieved progress of the building construction & ...
متن کاملStatus of Proton Beam Commissioning at the Medaustron Ion Beam Therapy Centre
The MedAustron accelerator (Wiener Neustadt, Austria) will deliver clinical beams of protons (60 250 MeV) and carbon ions (120 400 MeV/n) to three ion beam therapy irradiation rooms (IR). Clinical beams and proton beams up to 800 MeV will be provided in a fourth IR, dedicated to non-clinical research. A slow-extracted proton beam of maximum clinical energy reached for the first time the IR3 in ...
متن کاملStatus of Medaustron the Austrian Ion Therapy and Research Centre
MedAustron is the Austrian center for hadron therapy and non-clinical research. The accelerator design is based on the PIMMS study [1] and features proton beams of up to 800 MeV and carbon ion beams of up to 400 MeV/u. The accelerator is currently being installed and the beam commissioning has started early 2013. The injector comprising three ECR sources, an RFQ and an IH-mode structure has alr...
متن کاملCalculation of WER values of some dosimetric plastic materials applied at helium ion beam therapy
In this research, water equivalent ratios (WER) at helium ion beam energy ranging 25-250 MeV/u for four potential plastic dosimetric materials: polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and paraffin have been calculated using MCNPX Monte Carlo code. Among studied materials, PC and PP with 0.979 and 1.177 show minimum and maximum differences with water respectively....
متن کاملPatient handling system for carbon ion beam scanning therapy
Our institution established a new treatment facility for carbon ion beam scanning therapy in 2010. The major advantages of scanning beam treatment compared to the passive beam treatment are the following: high dose conformation with less excessive dose to the normal tissues, no bolus compensator and patient collimator/multi-leaf collimator, better dose efficiency by reducing the number of scatt...
