Testing of a Raster Magnet System for Expanding the Apt Proton Beam
A method of expanding the 1700 MeV, 100 mA proton beam of the APT linear accelerator onto the 19 by 190 cm target has been devised using eight ferrite dipole magnets. These magnets deflect the beam in the x and y-plane, and thereby paint the target area uniformly with a rastered pattern. Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT)-based power modulators drive the raster magnets with triangular cur...
متن کاملDosimetric Characteristics of Transparent Bolus for External Beam Radiotherapy
Introduction: In radiotherapy, the bolus is often used while treating the tumor under the uneven surfaces of the patients for correcting the anatomical irregularities and increasing skin dose. Wet cotton and wet gauze are still used in developing countries, since the use of wet cotton and wet gauze has certain disadvantages, there is a need for transparent bolus which ...
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 کاملThe clinical case for proton beam therapy
Over the past 20 years, several proton beam treatment programs have been implemented throughout the United States. Increasingly, the number of new programs under development is growing. Proton beam therapy has the potential for improving tumor control and survival through dose escalation. It also has potential for reducing harm to normal organs through dose reduction. However, proton beam thera...
متن کاملProton beam therapy for medulloblastoma.
It is heartening to read a report of good functional outcomes following proton beam therapy in young patients with medulloblastoma, including the absence of many unpleasant side eff ects that can occur after conventional photon therapy. The authors quote UK research, which criticises the current proton therapy treatment policy of dividing the x-ray (photon) equivalent dose by 1·1. This is done ...
