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 کاملFast Pencil Beam Dose Calculation for Proton Therapy Using a Double-Gaussian Beam Model
The highly conformal dose distributions produced by scanned proton pencil beams (PBs) are more sensitive to motion and anatomical changes than those produced by conventional radiotherapy. The ability to calculate the dose in real-time as it is being delivered would enable, for example, online dose monitoring, and is therefore highly desirable. We have previously described an implementation of a...
متن کاملDevelopment of Optical Fiber Based Measurement System for the Verification of Entrance Dose Map in Pencil Beam Scanning Proton Beam
This study describes the development of a beam monitoring system for the verification of entrance dose map in pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy based on fiber optic radiation sensors (FORS) and the validation of this system through a feasibility study. The beam monitoring system consisted of 128 optical fibers optically coupled to photo-multiplier tubes. The performance of the beam moni...
متن کاملDynamic Delivery Planning in Iba Proton Pencil Beam
Pencil Beam Scanning is a dynamic beam delivery system developed for proton therapy. The radiation field necessary to reach in a fast and robust way a prescribed 3D dose distribution is obtained by accurately controlling both the extraction of the beam from a 235 MeV accelerator and the motion of the beam spot thanks to scanning magnets. This paper focuses on the trajectory planning aspect of t...
متن کاملPencil - Beam Searches for Faint
Motivated by a desire to understand the size distribution of objects in the Kuiper belt, an observing program has been conducted at the CFHT and Palomar 5-m telescopes. We have conducted pencil-beam searches for outer solar system objects to a limiting magnitude of R 26. Fields were searched using software recombinations of many short exposures shifted at diierent angular rates in order to dete...
