A Beam Monitor for Ion Beam Therapy based on HV-CMOS Pixel Detectors
Matthias Balzer, Alexander Dierlamm, Felix Ehrler +13
Particle therapy is a well established clinical treatment of tumors. More than one hundred particle therapy centers are in operation world wide. The advantage of using hadrons like…
Multivariate error modeling and uncertainty quantification using importance (re-)weighting for Monte Carlo simulations in particle transport
Pia Stammer, Lucas Burigo, Oliver Jäkel +2
Fast and accurate predictions of uncertainties in the computed dose are crucial for the determination of robust treatment plans in radiation therapy. This requires the solution of…
An anthropomorphic multimodality (CT/MRI) phantom prototype for end-to-end tests in radiation therapy
Raya R. Gallas, Nora Hünemohr, Armin Runz +3
With the increasing complexity of external beam therapy, so-called "end-to-end" tests are intended to cover all steps from therapy planning to follow-up to fulfill the high demands…
Single track coincidence measurements of fluorescent and plastic nuclear track detectors in therapeutic carbon beams
J. -M. Osinga, I. Ambrožová, K. Pachnerová Brabcová +4
In this paper we present a method for single track coincidence measurements using two different track detector materials. We employed plastic and fluorescent nuclear track detector…
Absorbed Dose in Ion Beams: Comparison of Ionisation and Fluence-based Measurements
Julia-Maria Osinga, Stephan Brons, James A. Bartz +3
A direct comparison measurement of fluorescent nuclear track detectors (FNTDs) and a thimble ionisation chamber is presented. Irradiations were performed using monoenergetic proton…
Analytical expressions for stopping-power ratios relevant for accurate dosimetry in particle therapy
Armin Lühr, David C. Hansen, Oliver Jäkel +2
In particle therapy, knowledge of the stopping-power ratios (STPRs) of the ion beam for air and water is necessary for accurate ionization chamber dosimetry. Earlier work has inves…
