Robust dual-field optimization of scanned ion beams against range and setup uncertainties
Taku Inaniwa, Nobuyuki Kanematsu, Takuji Furukawa +1
A 'dual-field' strategy is often used for tumors with highly complex shapes and/or with large volumes exceeding available field-size in both passive and scanning irradiations with…
Dynamic splitting of Gaussian pencil beams in heterogeneity-correction algorithms for radiotherapy with heavy charged particles
Nobuyuki Kanematsu, Masataka Komori, Shunsuke Yonai +1
The pencil-beam model is valid only when elementary Gaussian beams are small enough with respect to lateral heterogeneity of a medium, which is not always the case in heavy charged…
Semi-empirical formulation of multiple scattering for Gaussian beam model of heavy charged particles stopping in tissue-like matter
Nobuyuki Kanematsu
Dose calculation for radiotherapy with protons and heavier ions deals with a large volume of path integrals involving a scattering power of body tissue. This work provides a simple…
Alternative scattering power for Gaussian beam model of heavy charged particles
Nobuyuki Kanematsu
This study provides an accurate, efficient, and simple multiple scattering formulation for heavy charged particles such as protons and heavier ions with a new form of scattering po…
Computational modeling of beam-customization devices for heavy-charged-particle radiotherapy
Nobuyuki Kanematsu, Shunsuke Yonai, Azusa Ishizaki +1
A model for beam customization with collimators and a range-compensating filter based on the phase-space theory for beam transport is presented for dose distribution calculation in…
