Recent progress in pencil beam scanning FLASH proton therapy: a narrative review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background and Objective: Recent experimental studies using ultra-high dose rate radiation therapy (FLASH-RT) have shown improved normal tissue sparing comparable tumor control compared to conventional radiotherapy (RT). Pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton with superior dosimetry characteristics has begun draw attention the delivery of conformal FLASH-RT for preclinical studies. This review aims provide recent updates on development PBS FLASH-RT.

Golden beam data for proton pencil-beam scanning.
Proton, as well as other ion, beams applied by electro-magnetic deflection in pencil-beam scanning (PBS) are minimally perturbed and thus can be quantified a priori by their fundamental interactions in a medium. This a priori quantification permits an optimal reduction of characterizing measurements on a particular PBS delivery system. The combination of a priori quantification and measurements...
متن کاملA comparison of two pencil beam scanning treatment planning systems for proton therapy
OBJECTIVE Analytical dose calculation algorithms for Eclipse and Raystation treatment planning systems (TPS), as well as a Raystation Monte Carlo model are compared to corresponding measured point doses. METHOD The TPS were modeled with the same beam data acquired during commissioning. Thirty-five typical plans were made with each planning system, 31 without range shifter and four with a 5 cm...
متن کاملPencil Beam Scanning Proton Therapy for Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Biliary Tract
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of childhood with 250-350 cases diagnosed annually in the United States. Biliary tract rhabdomyosarcoma is rare, representing <1% of the RMS cases. Due to its location, resection is clinically challenging, and functional complications exist and persist from biliary obstruction. The anatomical location of this tumor presents both oppo...
متن کاملCommissioning of the world's first compact pencil‐beam scanning proton therapy system
This paper summarizes clinical commissioning of the world's first commercial, clinically utilized installation of a compact, image-guided, pencil-beam scanning, intensity-modulated proton therapy system, the IBA Proteus® ONE, at the Willis-Knighton Cancer Center (WKCC) in Shreveport, LA. The Proteus® ONE is a single-room, compact-gantry system employing a cyclotron-generated proton beam with im...
متن کاملUse of a novel two‐dimensional ionization chamber array for pencil beam scanning proton therapy beam quality assurance
The need to accurately and efficiently verify both output and dose profiles creates significant challenges in quality assurance of pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton delivery. A system for PBS QA has been developed that combines a new two-dimensional ionization chamber array in a waterproof housing that is scanned in a water phantom. The MatriXX PT has the same detector array arrangement as the ...
