Etoile∗ Hadrontherapy Project, Review of Design Studies
نویسنده
چکیده
The Rhone-Alpes hadrontherapy facility project ETOILE is based on production of up to 400 MeV/amu carbon and 220 MeV proton beams using earlier CERN synchrotron design ”PIMMS”. The accelerator complex has necessitated several design studies relevant to the technical specificities of ETOILE, in support to cost evaluations. These studies are described and concern the optics of the low, medium and high energy beam lines, treatment room beam delivery, and the optimisation of 7 MeV proton injection.

Status of the Hadrontherapy Etoile-project in Lyon*
The ETOILE project is the French program for carbon ion beams in cancer treatment. It is now in the final phase. However its development is not only aiming at the building of a medical facility, around the project a broad set of medical and scientific programs have been initiated. The project has been supported by the University of Lyon and extended to the Rhône-Alpes Region and then gained a n...
متن کاملCABOTO, a high-gradient linac for hadrontherapy
The field of hadrontherapy has grown rapidly in recent years. At present the therapeutic beam is provided by a cyclotron or a synchrotron, but neither cyclotrons nor synchrotrons present the best performances for hadrontherapy. The new generation of accelerators for hadrontherapy should allow fast active energy modulation and have a high repetition rate, so that moving organs can be appropriate...

In 1991 the author involved the Italian institute of nuclear physics (INFN) in R&D work in the field of hadrontherapy. In 1992 the TERA Foundation was created with the purpose of forming and employing people fully devoted to the design, promotion and construction of hadrontherapy centres in Italy and in Europe. The present contribution describes the main project of TERA, the CNAO (Centro Nazion...
متن کاملReview on satisfaction of health system transformation project in Iran: brief report
Background: Long after the implementation of the “Health System Transformation Project”, no comprehensive assessment of patient and nurse satisfaction rate has been carried out in Iran based on available databases. Thus, this review study was designed and performed to answer this question: “How is the evaluation of the Health System Transformation Project in nurse and patient satisfaction dimen...
متن کاملRadiation Effects on the On-line Monitoring System of a Hadrontherapy Center
Introduction Today, there is a growing interest in the use of hadrontherapy as an advanced radiotherapy technique. Hadrontherapy is considered a promising tool for cancer treatment, given its high radiobiological effectiveness and high accuracy of dose deposition due to the physical properties of hadrons. However, new radiation modalities of dose delivery and on-line beam monitoring play crucia...
