Impact of track structure calculations on biological treatment planning in ion radiotherapy

Impact of track structure calculations on biological treatment planning in ion radiotherapy

Treatment planning for ion therapy requires precise knowledge about the biological effectiveness of particle beams, which is strongly determined by the microscopic radial energy deposition around individual ion tracks. We analyse different amorphous track structure models based on simple analytical formulae as well as on radial dose distributions derived by means of Monte Carlo simulations. Mor...

Evaluation of treatment planning system monitor unit calculations for three intensity modulated radiotherapy delivery techniques

Background: We have validated the monitor unit calculations from a commercially available treatment planning system (TPS) for three intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) planning techniques for tangential breast irradiation by using ionization chamber measurements. Materials and Methods: Treatment plans were generated for forty-two breast patients by a forward planned field in field ...

Treatment Planning for the Carbon Ion Radiotherapy

In the three therapy beam times 2007 about 50 patients were planned and treated with our treatment planning software, TRiP98, and its development version, TRiP98BEAM. In the past, the standard method was to optimize the biological target dose distribution for the contributing partial fields singly. Due to the enormous effort for the computation of biological effects, only a simple, but still su...
