Operational and design aspects of accelerators for medical applications

Accelerators for Medical Applications

About 50% of the ten thousands particle accelerators at present running in the world are devoted to medical applications. The main areas of use are: (i) radioisotope production, (ii) conventional radiotherapy with electron and photon beams, (iii) oncological hadrontherapy. In this review paper it is shown that in all these areas there are new developments which are scientifically interesting an...

Design of Hardware Accelerators for Demanding Applications

This paper focuses on mastering the architecture development of hardware accelerators. It presents the results of our analysis of the main issues that have to be addressed when designing accelerators for modern demanding applications, when using as an example the accelerator design for LDPC decoding for the newest demanding communication system standards. Based on the results of our analysis, w...

Design Considerations for Medical Proton Accelerators

The design requirements for current heavy-particle accelerators operated within a hospital to deliver radiation therapy must satisfy both clinical and research needs. Advances in dedicated beam delivery systems for clinical utilization and biological studies add requirements that previous accelerators did not have. Eight years experience using the Loma Linda University proton facility has empha...
