Measurement of 80-200 MeV/n O nuclear cross-section on Carbon and Polyethylene targets with the nuclear emulsion detector of the FOOT experiment
FOOT Collaboration, Giuliana Galati, Vincenzo Boccia +93
Accurate knowledge of nuclear fragmentation cross-sections is essential for optimizing charged particle therapy. In this study, conducted within the framework of the FOOT (Fragment…
An AI dose engine for fast carbon ion treatment planning
Anastasiia Quarz, Angelica De Gregorio, Gaia Franciosini +7
Monte Carlo (MC) simulations provide gold-standard accuracy for carbon ion therapy dose calculations but are computationally intensive. Analytical pencil beam algorithms offer spee…
Five Years of Clinical Application of independent Monte Carlo-Based Patient-Specific Quality Assurance at the Maastro Proton Therapy Center
Ilaria Rinaldi, Giorgio Cartechini, Angelo Schiavi +6
At the Maastro Proton Therapy Center in Maastricht, patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) using an independent GPU-accelerated Monte Carlo (MC) calculation has fully replaced c…
GPU-accelerated FREDopt package for simultaneous dose and LETd proton radiotherapy plan optimization via superiorization methods
Damian Borys, Jan Gajewski, Tobias Becher +9
This study presents FREDopt, a newly developed GPU-accelerated open-source optimization software for simultaneous proton dose and dose-averaged LET (LETd) optimization in IMPT trea…
