Development 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 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 Optical Fiber Based Measurement System for the Verification of Entrance Dose Map in Pencil Beam Scanning Proton Beam
This study describes the development of a beam monitoring system for the verification of entrance dose map in pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy based on fiber optic radiation sensors (FORS) and the validation of this system through a feasibility study. The beam monitoring system consisted of 128 optical fibers optically coupled to photo-multiplier tubes. The performance of the beam moni...
متن کاملCommissioning 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 کاملGolden beam data for proton pencil-beam scanning.
Proton, as well as other ion, beams applied by electro-magnetic deflection in pencil-beam scanning (PBS) are minimally perturbed and thus can be quantified a priori by their fundamental interactions in a medium. This a priori quantification permits an optimal reduction of characterizing measurements on a particular PBS delivery system. The combination of a priori quantification and measurements...
