Experimental investigations on in-beam PET for proton therapy
Following the promising results of [1], further phantom experiments have been performed at GSI in order to address the feasibility and accuracy of in-beam positron emission tomography (PET) for proton therapy. For the most challenging issue of range monitoring it has been demonstrated for mono-energetic as well as for spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP) irradiation that range differences of about 0.9m...
متن کاملImpact of Various Beam Parameters on Lateral Scattering in Proton and Carbon-ion Therapy
Background: In radiation therapy with ion beams, lateral distributions of absorbed dose in the tissue are important. Heavy ion therapy, such as carbon-ion therapy, is a novel technique of high-precision external radiotherapy which has advantages over proton therapy in terms of dose locality and biological effectiveness.Methods: In this study, we used Monte Carlo method-based Geant4 toolkit to s...
متن کاملBiological Dose Estimation Model for Proton Beam Therapy
Purpose: The recommended value for the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of proton beams is currently assumed to be 1.1. However, there is increasing evidence that RBE increases towards the end of proton beam range that may increase the biological effect of proton beam in the distal regions of the dose deposition. Methods: A computational approach is presented for estimating the biologica...
متن کاملProton beam therapy physics
Contrary to popular opinion, the concept of treating cancer using high energy beams of protons is not new. First conceived in 1946, following a period in which patients were treated only in laboratory facilities, the first hospital-based facility opened in 1990 at Loma Linda University Medical Center (United States). Currently there are 67 centres in operation, with a further 32 in the construc...
