Background Scanned ion beam therapy of shifting tumors requires motion mitigation

Background Scanned ion beam therapy of shifting tumors requires motion mitigation intra-fractionally. Bragg top depth under movement induced range variants. Cell survival tests showed a mean relative difference of -5% (-3%) between measurements and calculations within the prospective volume for beam tracking (stationary) measurements. Conclusions The beam tracking system has been successfully integrated. Full features… Continue reading Background Scanned ion beam therapy of shifting tumors requires motion mitigation
