A compact linac for intensity modulated proton therapy based on a dielectric wall accelerator.
A novel compact CT-guided intensity modulated proton radiotherapy (IMPT) system is described. The system is being designed to deliver fast IMPT so that larger target volumes and motion management can be accomplished. The system will be ideal for large and complex target volumes in young patients. The basis of the design is the dielectric wall accelerator (DWA) system being developed at the Lawr...
متن کاملDevelopment of Compact Proton Beam Therapy System for Moving Organs
Masumi Umezawa Futaro Ebina Yusuke Fujii Koji Matsuda Kazuo Hiramoto Kikuo Umegaki, Ph.D. Hiroki Shirato, M.D., Ph.D. OVERVIEW: The use of particle beams in treating cancer, both in Japan and overseas, is growing in recognition of their ability to precisely target the dose of radiation on the cancerous tumor while minimizing the impact on surrounding organs. In particular, it is anticipated tha...
متن کاملCompact Pulsed Hadron Source - a University-based Accelerator Platform for Multidisciplinary Neutron and Proton Applications*
During the past decades, large-scale national neutron sources were developed in Asia, Europe, and North America. Complementing such efforts, compact hadron beam complexes and neutron sources intended to serve primarily universities and industrial institutes were proposed and some have recently been established. Responding to the demand in China for multidisciplinary fundamental and applied rese...
متن کاملLaser-driven Proton Accelerator for Medical Application *
The concept of a compact ion particle accelerator has become attractive in view of recent progress in laserdriven ion acceleration. We report here the recent progress in the laser-driven proton beam transport at the Photo Medical Research Center (PMRC) at JAEA, which is established to address the challenge of laser-driven ion accelerator development for ion beam cancer therapy.
متن کاملCOMPACT SUPERCONDUCTING 250 MeV PROTON CYCLOTRON FOR THE PSI PROSCAN PROTON THERAPY PROJECT
A cyclotron for proton therapy has to fulfil many requirements set by the specific operational and safety needs of a medical facility and the medical environment. These are for instance high extraction efficiency, high availability and reliability, simple and robust operation. ACCEL Instruments GmbH has refined the design concept of a medical cyclotron for the PSI PROSCAN project with the objec...
