    Motion management in scanned particle therapy: beam gating & tracking

    Treatment of intra-fractionally moving targets with scanned ion beams requires motion mitigation techniques due to interplay effects. We implemented Gating (paused irradiation) and Beam Tracking (position adap...

    On-line compensation of dose changes introduced by tumor motion during scanned particle therapy

    Tumor irradiations using scanned particle beams provide superior target conformity and dose homogeneity for stationary tumors. In case of intrafractional motion interference between beam scanning and tumor mot...

    4D calculation and biological dosimetry of the RBE-weighted dose for scanned carbon ion beam therapy

    The software treatment planning for particles (TRiP) was extended by the functionality to calculate the clinically relevant RBE-weighted dose for scanned ion beams in the presence of motion. Calculations are b...
