Quantum mechanical proton range in human body
Introduction: Proton therapy delivers radiation to tumor tissue in a much more confined way than conventional photon therapy thus allowing the radiation oncologist to use a greater dose while still minimizing side. Materials and Methods: protons release most of their energy within the tumor region. As a result, the treating physician can potentially give an...
متن کاملIn vivo proton beam range verification using spine MRI changes.
PURPOSE In proton therapy, uncertainty in the location of the distal dose edge can lead to cautious treatment plans that reduce the dosimetric advantage of protons. After radiation exposure, vertebral bone marrow undergoes fatty replacement that is visible on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This presents an exciting opportunity to observe radiation dose distribution in vivo. We used quantitat...
متن کاملDesign of practical proton-activated implantable markers for proton range verification using PET
Specific Aims: The aim of this research project is to develop a fiducial marker that can be used for in vivo proton range verification following proton therapy. Our group has previously shown the feasibility of using novel elements as proton-activated fiducial markers that can be imaged using an off-site PET scanner (Cho et al 2013). In this research, we will investigate the optimal physical co...
متن کاملLong range acoustic measurements of an undersea volcano.
A seamount 8 km southeast of Sarigan Island erupted on 29 May 2010 and was visually observed. The recordings on two sets of hydrophones, operated by International Monitoring System (IMS) of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) are analyzed. Each array is a triplet of axial single hydrophones deployed as a 2 km triangle. Measurements of acoustic intensity for the path to the so...
متن کاملTime‐resolved diode dosimetry calibration through Monte Carlo modeling for in vivo passive scattered proton therapy range verification
PURPOSE Our group previously introduced an in vivo proton range verification methodology in which a silicon diode array system is used to correlate the dose rate profile per range modulation wheel cycle of the detector signal to the water-equivalent path length (WEPL) for passively scattered proton beam delivery. The implementation of this system requires a set of calibration data to establish ...
