Status of 4D Treatment Planning Implementations for TRiP98
نویسندگان
چکیده
TRiP98 is a treatment planning program for radiotherapy with scanned ion beams. It was developed at GSI and has been successfully used in clinical routine from 1997-2008 for over 400 patients, predominantly with head and neck tumors [1,2]. The treatment of tumors within moving organs, such as lung tumors, with scanned ion beams involves additional complexity of the beam delivery and the treatment planning process. Therefore, new implementations for 4D treatment planning in TRiP98 were needed and carried out at different stages of development [3-5]. This report gives an overview of recent developments of the 4D treatment planning version of TRiP98 (TRiP4D).

4D Treatment Planning Implementations for TRiP98
TRiP98 is a treatment planning program for heavy ion radiotherapy[1] with a scanned ion beam and was developed at GSI[2]. It has been successfully used in clinical routine from 1997-2008 for over 400 patients, predominantly with head and neck tumors[3]. The treatment of mobile tumors, such as lung tumors, with a scanned ion beam poses additional challenges, resulting into a higher complexity of...
متن کاملTRiP98: Parallelization of Dose Calculation
TRiP98, a treatment planning program, was used in the pilot project of heavy ion radiotherapy with scanned ion beams at GSI [1]. Over 400 patients were treated from 1997 to 2008 [2]. Currently TRiP98 is used for research purposes. One big part of the actual research is to make TRiP98 able to handle 4D data sets [3]. This is needed for the treatment of moving tumors (like lung tumors). Due to th...
متن کاملMinimization-Algorithms for Biological Multiple Field Optimization
The software TRiP98 [1, 2, 3] is successfully used for patient treatment planning in the GSI pilot project. A crucial part of the treatment planning is the particle number optimization. The main goal of optimization is to achieve a target dose distribution as close as possible to the prescribed biological dose distribution. Multiple field optimization (MFO) allows a better target conformity and...
متن کاملSimulation and Visualization of uncertainties in 4 D treatment planning
Along with innovative ideas for treating non static tumours comes the need of a 4D supporting treatment planning software. The GSI code treatment planning for particles (TRiP) [1;2] has recently been extended to 4D capabilities (TRiP4D) [3]. The status of TRiP4D has proceeded to a level which allows the first four dimensional uncertainty simulations. The sum of all uncertainties present at trea...
متن کاملExperimental validation of survival calculations in the presence of motion
The software TRiP98 [1] is successfully used at GSI for treatment planning of stationary tumors. It is capable to calculate the absorbed dose and the biologically effective dose resulting from the superposition of usually several thousand C-12 pencil beams. Treatment is delivered with the raster scanner system [2]. If the target is subject to respiratory motion, treatment is not yet possible be...
