Optimization of Medical Accelerators*
The Optimization of Medical Accelerators (OMA) is the aim of a new European training network. OMA joins universities, research centers and clinical facilities with industry partners to address the challenges in treatment facility design and optimization, numerical simulations for advanced treatment schemes, and beam imaging and treatment monitoring. Projects include: compact accelerators for pr...
متن کاملAccelerators 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...

The Optimization of Medical Accelerators (OMA) is the aim of a new European Training Network that has received 4 ME of funding within the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Union. OMA joins universities, research centers and clinical facilities with industry partners to address the challenges in treatment facility design and optimization, numerical simulations for the development of advance...
متن کاملAutomated High-power Conditioning of Medical Accelerators
Medical accelerators require arc-free operation. Due to high-field emission, arcing and outgassing can occur in high-power accelerators. Therefore, the accelerators inner surfaces have to be conditioned before its use at high gradient levels in Radiation Therapy machines. At Siemens, we have developed a technique to automatically condition accelerator structures by continually inspecting the a...
متن کاملMedical Applications of Electron Linear Accelerators
The role of radiation therapy in cancer management is first defined: today among the cancer patients who are cured (≅ 45 %) about one half are cured by radiation therapy applied alone or in combination with surgery or chemotherapy. The experience accumulated in decades shows that, to be efficient, the radiation treatment must be delivered with a high physical selectivity. At present, electron l...
