Biological dosimetry for motion compensated targets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since 1997 almost 400 patients with mainly head and neck cancer have been treated successfully with the rasterscan technique [1] at GSI. Due to interplay between scanned beam and organ motion, it is not possible to treat tumor sites influenced by respiratory motion. A potential technique to overcome this problem is tracking [2], where the beam position is adapted to a moving target in 3D based on the measured target position. This work compares measured cell survival to calculated survival in a stationary and a motion compensated irradiation scenario.

4D in-beam PET of moving targets for different irradiation scenarios
Introduction Ion therapy allows a high precision, tumor conformal dose application but it is very sensitive to density changes along the beam path. Intra-fractional tumor motion due to respiration increases the risk of an incorrect irradiation and thus requires a reliable dosimetry as it was done by means of 3D in-beam PET for more than 400 patients at the experimental heavy ion treatment facil...
متن کاملGravity-Compensated Robust Control for Micro-Macro Space Manipulators During a Rest to Rest Maneuver
Many space applications require robotic manipulators which have large workspace and are capable of precise motion. Micro-macro manipulators are considered as the best solution to this demand. Such systems consist of a long flexible arm and a short rigid arm. Kinematic redundancy and presence of unactuated flexible degrees of freedom, makes it difficult to control micro-macro manipulators. This ...

Background and Objective: Professional radiation workers are occupationally exposed to long-term low levels of ionizing radiation. Occupational health hazards from radiation exposure, in a large occupational segment of the population, are of special concern. Biological dosimetry can be performed in addition to physical dosimetry with the aim of individual dose assessment and biological effects....
متن کاملMultiple Target Tracking With a 2-D Radar Using the JPDAF Algorithm and Combined Motion Model
Multiple target tracking (MTT) is taken into account as one of the most important topics in tracking targets with radars. In this paper, the MTT problem is used for estimating the position of multiple targets when a 2-D radar is employed to gather measurements. To do so, the Joint Probabilistic Data Association Filter (JPDAF) approach is applied to tracking the position of multiple targets. To ...
