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…
Relationship between electron density and effective densities of body tissues for stopping, scattering, and nuclear interaction of proton and ion beams
Nobuyuki Kanematsu, Taku Inaniwa, Yusuke Koba
Purpose: In treatment planning of charged-particle radiotherapy, patient heterogeneity is conventionally modeled as variable-density water converted from CT images to best reproduc…
