Operation of the Linac and the Linac Rf System for the Ion-beam Therapy Center Heidelberg
The Heidelberg Ion Therapy Center HIT is in clinical operation since 2009. It is the first dedicated European particle accelerator for medical treatment. Its central location on the campus of the Heidelberg University Hospital fits perfectly in the clinical everyday life. The accelerator complex consists of a linear accelerator and a synchrotron and is designed for protons and carbon ions, but ...
متن کاملExperience at the Ion Beam Therapy Center (hit) with 2 Years of Continuous Ecr Ion Source Operation
Radiotherapy with heavy ions is an upcoming cancer treatment method with to date unachieved precision. It associates higher control rates particularly for radiation resistant tumour species with reduced adverse effects compared to conventional photon therapy. This paper will provide an overview about the project, with special attention given to the two 14.5 GHz electron cyclotron resonance (ECR...
متن کاملProton and carbon ion radiotherapy for primary brain tumors delivered with active raster scanning at the Heidelberg Ion Therapy Center (HIT): early treatment results and study concepts
BACKGROUND Particle irradiation was established at the University of Heidelberg 2 years ago. To date, more than 400 patients have been treated including patients with primary brain tumors. In malignant glioma (WHO IV) patients, two clinical trials have been set up-one investigating the benefit of a carbon ion (18 GyE) vs. a proton boost (10 GyE) in addition to photon radiotherapy (50 Gy), the o...
متن کاملThe Proposed Dedicated Ion Beam Facility for Cancer Therapy at the Clinic in Heidelberg
Starting in 1997 nearly 60 patients have been successfully treated by means of the intensity controlled rasterscanmethod within the GSI experimental cancer treatment program. The developments and experiences of this program accompanied by intensive discussions with the medical community led to a proposal for a hospital based light ion accelerator facility for the clinic in Heidelberg. [1] Major...
متن کاملTreatment of pediatric patients and young adults with particle therapy at the Heidelberg Ion Therapy Center (HIT): establishment of workflow and initial clinical data
BACKGROUND To report on establishment of workflow and clinical results of particle therapy at the Heidelberg Ion Therapy Center. MATERIALS AND METHODS We treated 36 pediatric patients (aged 21 or younger) with particle therapy at HIT. Median age was 12 years (range 2-21 years), five patients (14%) were younger than 5 years of age. Indications included pilocytic astrocytoma, parameningeal and ...
