Water Equivalent Thickness Analysis of Immobilization Devices for Clinical Implementation in Proton Therapy
Immobilization devices can impact not only the inter- and intra-fraction motion of the patient, but also the range uncertainty of the treatment beam in proton therapy. In order to limit additional range uncertainty, the water equivalent thickness (WET) of the immobilization device needs to be well known and accurately reflected in the calculations by the treatment planning system (TPS). The met...
متن کاملPerturbation of water‐equivalent thickness as a surrogate for respiratory motion in proton therapy
Respiratory motion is traditionally assessed using tumor motion magnitude. In proton therapy, respiratory motion causes density variations along the beam path that result in uncertainties of proton range. This work has investigated the use of water-equivalent thickness (WET) to quantitatively assess the effects of respiratory motion on calculated dose in passively scattered proton therapy (PSPT...
متن کاملSimulation of gamma irradiation system for a ballast water treatment
ABSTRACT Background: Invasion by different kinds of ballast water microorganisms is one of the most important marine environment problems around the world therefore preventing the invasion of these unwanted and harmful stowaways is one of the main strategies of responsible agencies. Some of these methods such as ocean excha...
متن کاملWaveform simulation based on 3D dose distribution for acoustic wave generated by proton beam irradiation.
A pulsed proton beam is capable of generating an acoustic wave when it is absorbed by a medium. This phenomenon suggests that the acoustic waveform produced may well include information on the three-dimensional (3D) dose distribution of the proton beam. We simulated acoustic waveforms by using a transmission model based on the Green function and the 3D dose distribution. There was reasonable ag...
متن کاملProton beam irradiation inhibits the migration of melanoma cells
PURPOSE In recent years experimental data have indicated that low-energy proton beam radiation might induce a difference in cellular migration in comparison to photons. We therefore set out to compare the effect of proton beam irradiation and X-rays on the survival and long-term migratory properties of two cell lines: uveal melanoma Mel270 and skin melanoma BLM. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cells tr...
