Dosimetric Study of Lung Modulation and Motion Effects in Carbon ion Therapy for Lung Cancer
Maria Chiara Martire, Lennart Volz, Marco Durante +1
Carbon-ion radiotherapy provides high dose conformity for lung cancer, but its benefit is limited by two sources of uncertainties: interplay between scanned beam delivery and tumor…
Back with Weight: Revisiting Very Heavy Ions for Precision Radiotherapy
Jeannette Jansen, Olga Sokol, Yolanda Prezado +1
Accelerated charged particles offer significant physical advantages over X-rays in radiotherapy. In addition to their superior depth-dose distribution, heavy ions provide notable b…
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…
First image-guided treatment of a mouse tumor with radioactive ion beams
Daria Boscolo, Giulio Lovatti, Olga Sokol +16
Radioactive ion beams (RIB) are a key focus of current research in nuclear physics. Already long ago it was proposed that they could have applications in cancer therapy. In fact, w…
