Clinical trials using accelerated heavy charged‐particle beams for treating cancer and other
diseases have been performed for nearly four decades. Recently there have been …

Imaging has become an essential tool in modern radiotherapy (RT), being used to plan dose
delivery prior to treatment and verify target position before and during treatment. Ultrasound …

The laser generation of sound in liquids and gases is reviewed. The sound‐generating
mechanisms of laser interaction with matter are discussed with emphasis on the …

Purpose: Range verification in ion beam therapy relies to date on nuclear imaging
techniques which require complex and costly detector systems. A different approach is the …

The thermo-acoustic mechanism of sound generation by charged particles is analysed. The
general procedure for calculating the fields of such acoustic radiation has been developed …

This invention provides a new technique for obtaining information non-invasively on the
composition and structures of a material or body by detecting radiation-induced …

Ions provide a more advantageous dose distribution than photons for external beam
radiotherapy, due to their so-called inverse depth dose deposition and, in particular a …

Acoustic waves are induced via the thermoacoustic effect in objects exposed to a pulsed
beam of ionizing radiation. This phenomenon has interesting potential applications in both …

Abstract LaVerne, JA Track Effects of Heavy Ions in Liquid Water. The various types of
ionizing radiation can have widely differing radiation effects due to their variation in track …
