A single-field integrated boost treatment planning technique for spot scanning proton therapy
PURPOSE Intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) plans are normally generated utilizing multiple field optimization (MFO) techniques. Similar to photon based IMRT, MFO allows for the utilization of a simultaneous integrated boost in which multiple target volumes are treated to discrete doses simultaneously, potentially improving plan quality and streamlining quality assurance and treatment del...
متن کاملModelling of a proton spot scanning system using MCNP6
The aim of this work was to model the characteristics of a clinical proton spot scanning beam using Monte Carlo simulations with the code MCNP6. The proton beam was defined using parameters obtained from beam commissioning at the Skandion Clinic, Uppsala, Sweden. Simulations were evaluated against measurements for proton energies between 60 and 226 MeV with regard to range in water, lateral spo...
متن کاملTuberculomas of the Craniospinal Axis
Seventeen neuraxis tuberculoma cases diagnosed and treated at Hacettepe University Medical Central between 1965 and 1988 were reviewed. Thirteen of these patients were explored surgically and all except two who died received anti-tuberculous chemotherapy in the postoperative period. In four patients who received aggressive medical treatment without surgical intervention. this treatment led to r...
متن کاملSpot scanning proton therapy minimizes neutron dose in the setting of radiation therapy administered during pregnancy
This is a real case study to minimize the neutron dose equivalent (H) to a fetus using spot scanning proton beams with favorable beam energies and angles. Minimum neutron dose exposure to the fetus was achieved with iterative planning under the guidance of neutron H measurement. Two highly conformal treatment plans, each with three spot scanning beams, were planned to treat a 25-year-old pregna...
متن کاملSpot Weight Adaptation for Moving Target in Spot Scanning Proton Therapy
PURPOSE This study describes a real-time spot weight adaptation method in spot-scanning proton therapy for moving target or moving patient, so that the resultant dose distribution closely matches the planned dose distribution. MATERIALS AND METHODS The method proposed in this study adapts the weight (MU) of the delivering pencil beam to that of the target spot; it will actually hit during pat...
