SHARP: A compact focusing system for medical applications using a diverging plasma lens
Kyrre Ness Sjobak, Elisabeth Rød-Lindberg, Abélia Ellingsen +5
Cancer therapy for deep-seated tumors requires precise irradiation of a small target deep within the patient while minimizing radiation exposure to surrounding tissues. This can be…

The Biologically Effective Particle Number Ratio (BPNR): a new framework to quantify the therapeutic window in SFRT and other modalities
Niels Bassler, Giuseppe Schettino, Hugo Palmans +4
Spatially Fractionated Radiation Therapy (SFRT) produces highly heterogeneous dose distributions, for which conventional metrics such as peak, valley, or average dose can yield amb…

Sharp dose profiles for high precision proton therapy using focused proton beams
Fardous Reaz, Kyrre Ness Sjobak, Eirik Malinen +2
Proton beam therapy has been developed to irradiate the tumor with higher precision and dose conformity compared to conventional X-ray irradiation. The dose conformity of this trea…
