Golden beam data for proton pencil-beam scanning.
Proton, as well as other ion, beams applied by electro-magnetic deflection in pencil-beam scanning (PBS) are minimally perturbed and thus can be quantified a priori by their fundamental interactions in a medium. This a priori quantification permits an optimal reduction of characterizing measurements on a particular PBS delivery system. The combination of a priori quantification and measurements...
متن کاملMRI-guided gene therapy.
MRI has the ability to generate high-contrast and high-resolution images, to obtain multiple diagnostic evaluations of organ function and morphology, and to provide multiple image planes with no risk of ionizing radiation. Recent efforts have focused on using MR technology to monitor gene delivery, to enhance gene transfection/transduction, and to track gene expression. This review summarizes t...
متن کاملPencil Beam Scanning Proton Therapy for Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Biliary Tract
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of childhood with 250-350 cases diagnosed annually in the United States. Biliary tract rhabdomyosarcoma is rare, representing <1% of the RMS cases. Due to its location, resection is clinically challenging, and functional complications exist and persist from biliary obstruction. The anatomical location of this tumor presents both oppo...
متن کاملCommissioning of the world's first compact pencil‐beam scanning proton therapy system
This paper summarizes clinical commissioning of the world's first commercial, clinically utilized installation of a compact, image-guided, pencil-beam scanning, intensity-modulated proton therapy system, the IBA Proteus® ONE, at the Willis-Knighton Cancer Center (WKCC) in Shreveport, LA. The Proteus® ONE is a single-room, compact-gantry system employing a cyclotron-generated proton beam with im...
متن کاملA comparison of two pencil beam scanning treatment planning systems for proton therapy
OBJECTIVE Analytical dose calculation algorithms for Eclipse and Raystation treatment planning systems (TPS), as well as a Raystation Monte Carlo model are compared to corresponding measured point doses. METHOD The TPS were modeled with the same beam data acquired during commissioning. Thirty-five typical plans were made with each planning system, 31 without range shifter and four with a 5 cm...
