Recent Progress of Heavy-ion Cancer Radiotherapy with Nirs-himac
The carbon-ion radiotherapy (RT) with HIMAC has been conducted since 1994, and the accumulated number of patients treated exceeded 7,500 in July 2013. On the basis of the HIMAC experience, NIRS developed a compact carbon-ion RT facility in order to boost the carbon-ion RT in Japan, and a pilot facility of this work was constructed and conducted at the Gunma University. Toward the further develo...
متن کاملPresent Status of Himac at Nirs
Since 1994 clinical trials have been performed successfully with carbon beam. To improve the clinical result further, new irradiation systems are under development such as a 3D-irradiation system and a verification system of range with positron emitter. There are also improvements on the accelerator performances. One is the wide range of ion species; the others are concerned with the machine de...
متن کاملPositron Camera System for Heavy-ion Radiotherapy at Himac
The positron camera system was designed and developed at the secondary beam course of HIMAC to measure heavy-ion ranges in bodies of patients. By using the pencil-like beam of positron emitters, such as C, the range is checked directly and precisely by detecting pairs of annihilation gamma rays emitted from the stopping point of the beam. The positron camera consists of a pair of Anger-type sci...
متن کاملCarbon ion radiotherapy: clinical experiences at National Institute of Radiological Science (NIRS).
In June 1994, the world's first clinical center offering carbon ion radiotherapy opened at the National Institute of Radiological Science (NIRS), Japan. Among several types of ion species, carbon ions were chosen for cancer therapy because they were judged to have the most optimal properties in terms of superior physical and biological characteristics. As of March 2010, 5,196 patients have been...
متن کاملCarbon ion radiotherapy in Japan: an assessment of 20 years of clinical experience.
Charged particle therapy is generally regarded as cutting-edge technology in oncology. Many proton therapy centres are active in the USA, Europe, and Asia, but only a few centres use heavy ions, even though these ions are much more effective than x-rays owing to the special radiobiological properties of densely ionising radiation. The National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS) Chiba, Ja...
