Radiotherapy should have low toxicity in the entrance channel (normal tissue) and be very
effective in cell killing in the target region (tumour). In this regard, ions heavier than protons …

Nuclear medicine is expected to make major advances in cancer diagnosis and therapy;
tumor-targeted radiopharmaceuticals preferentially eradicate tumors while causing minimal …

Recent technological advancements have increased the efficacy of radiotherapy, leading to
effective management of cancer patients with enhanced patient survival and improved …

Abstract Purpose Compared to CONV‐RT (with conventional dose rate), FLASH‐RT (with
ultra‐high dose rate) can provide biological dose sparing for organs‐at‐risk (OARs) via the …

Higher dose rates, a trend for radiotherapy machines, can be beneficial in shortening
treatment times for radiosurgery and mitigating the effects of motion. Recently, even higher …

Background A new compact superconducting synchrocyclotron single-room proton solution
delivers pulsed proton beams to each spot through several irradiation bursts calculated by …

Heavy ion therapy can deliver high doses with high precision. However, image guidance is
needed to reduce range uncertainty. Radioactive ions are potentially ideal projectiles for …

Proton therapy is an expanding radiotherapy modality in the United States and worldwide.
With the number of proton therapy centers treating patients increasing, so does the need for …

The first hospital-based treatment facilities for particle therapy started operation about thirty
years ago. Since then, the clinical experience with protons and carbon ions has grown …

The physical and clinical benefits of charged particle therapy (CPT) are well recognized.
However, the availability of CPT and complete exploitation of dosimetric advantages are still …
