Charged particle therapy has been largely driven and influenced by nuclear physics. The
increase in energy deposition density along the ion path in the body allows reducing the …

Exploitation of the full potential offered by ion beams in clinical practice is still hampered by
several sources of treatment uncertainties, particularly related to the limitations of our ability …

The use of hadron beams, especially proton beams, in cancer radiotherapy has expanded
rapidly in the past two decades. To fully realize the advantages of hadron therapy over …

Precision radiotherapy, which accurately delivers the dose on a tumor and confers little or no
irradiation to the surrounding normal tissue and organs, results in maximum tumor control …

Pre-treatment CT imaging is a topic of growing importance in particle therapy. Improvements
in the accuracy of stop**-power prediction are demanded to allow for a dose conformality …

Owing to the favorable physical and biological properties of swift ions in matter, their
application to radiation therapy for highly selective cancer treatment is rapidly spreading …

Purpose To demonstrate a proton‐imaging system based on well‐established fast
scintillator technology to achieve high performance with low cost and complexity, with the …
