Technical Note: Reconstruction of physical and biological dose distributions of carbon-ion beam through deconvolution of longitudinal dosimeter responses
Nobuyuki Kanematsu, Taku Inaniwa, Shunsuke Yonai +1
Purpose: This is a theoretical simulation study for proof of concept of radiochromic film dosimetry to measure physical and biological doses without plan-based quenching correction…
Estimation of linear energy transfer distribution for broad-beam carbon-ion radiotherapy at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences, Japan
Nobuyuki Kanematsu, Naruhiro Matsufuji, Taku Inaniwa
Carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) is generally evaluated with the dose weighted by relative biological effectiveness (RBE), while the radiation quality varying in the body of each pat…
Biological dose representation for carbon-ion radiotherapy of unconventional fractionation
Nobuyuki Kanematsu, Taku Inaniwa
In carbon-ion radiotherapy, single-beam delivery each day in alternate directions has been commonly practiced for operational efficiency, taking advantage of the Bragg peak and the…
Relationship between mass density, electron density, and elemental composition of body tissues for Monte Carlo simulation in radiation treatment planning
Nobuyuki Kanematsu
Purpose: For Monte Carlo simulation of radiotherapy, x-ray CT number of every system needs to be calibrated and converted to mass density and elemental composition. This study aims…
Influence of nuclear interactions in polyethylene range compensators for carbon-ion radiotherapy
Nobuyuki Kanematsu, Yusuke Koba, Risa Ogata +1
\item[Purpose] A recent study revealed that polyethylene (PE) would cause extra carbon-ion attenuation per range shift by 0.45\%/cm due to compositional differences in nuclear inte…
Evaluation of plastic materials for range shifting, range compensation, and solid-phantom dosimetry in carbon-ion radiotherapy
Nobuyuki Kanematsu, Yusuke Koba, Risa Ogata
Purpose: Beam range control is the essence of radiotherapy with heavy charged particles. In conventional broad-beam delivery, fine range adjustment is achieved by insertion of rang…
