Development of a compact superconducting rotating-gantry for heavy-ion therapy
An isocentric superconducting rotating-gantry for heavy-ion therapy is being developed [1]. This rotating gantry can transport heavy ions having 430 MeV/u to an isocenter with irradiation angles of over ±180°, and is further capable of performing fast raster-scanning irradiation [2]. A layout of the beam-transport line for the compact rotating-gantry is presented in Fig. 1. The rotating gantry ...
متن کاملDevelopment of Qa System for the Rotating Gantry for Carbon Ion Therapy at Nirs
At the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS), we have been developing the rotating-gantry system for the carbon-ion radiotherapy. This system is equipped with a three-dimensional pencil beam scanning irradiation system. To ensure the treatment quality, calibration of the primary dose monitor, range check, dose rate check, machine safety check, and some mechanical tests should be pe...
متن کاملResearch needed for improving heavy-ion therapy
The large interest in heavy-ion therapy is stimulated from its excellent clinical results. The bases of this success are the radiobiological and physical advantages of heavy-ion beams and the active beam delivery used for an intensity-modulated particle radiotherapy (IMPT). Although heavy-ion therapy has reached a high degree of perfection for clinical use there is still large progress possible...
متن کاملCalibration of Robot Reference Frames for Enhanced Robot Positioning Accuracy
Industrial robot manipulators are important components of most automated manufacturing systems. Their design and applications rely on modeling, analyzing, and programming the robot tool-center-point (TCP) positions with the best accuracy. Industrial practice shows that creating accurate robot TCP positions for robot applications such as welding, material handling, and inspection is a critical t...
متن کاملHeavy Ion Radiotherapy: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow*
At EO Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), clinical trials were conducted (1975-1992) for treating human cancer using heavy ion beams, in which about 700 patients were treated with helium-ion and about 300 patients with neon-ion beams. Clinical trials at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) in Darmstadt, Germany used carbon-ion beams to treat about 250 patients (1997-2005). ...
