Purpose The Bragg peak located at the end of the ion beam range is one of the main
advantages of ion beam therapy compared to X-Ray radiotherapy. However, verifying the …

Objective. Image guidance and precise irradiation are fundamental to ensure the reliability
of small animal oncology studies. Accurate positioning of the animal and the in-beam …

Objectives. The energy deposited in a medium by a pulsed proton beam results in the
emission of thermoacoustic waves, also called ionoacoustics (IA). The proton beam stopping …

Simple Summary The aim of any kind of external radiation therapy is to control a tumor with
the highest possible probability of the lowest possible side effects. Here, we study further …

Background Proton range uncertainty has been the main factor limiting the ability of proton
therapy to concentrate doses to tumors to their full potential. Ionoacoustic (IA) range …

The performance of ionoacoustic detectors is investigated with respect to application of high-
precision range and energy loss measurements for relativistic heavy ions. The technique is …

Proton therapy for the irradiation of tumours has decisive advantages over conventional
irradiation with X-Ray photons. The finite range of the protons with an emphasised dose …

Les techniques de thérapie par les ions ont connu une expansion rapide dans les pratiques
médicales durant ces deux dernières décennies. En effet, trois principales raisons rendent …

Ionoacoustics is a novel range verification method, which is based on the detection of
thermoacoustic emissions induced by the therapeutic irradiation. The localized energy …
