A Proton Beam Therapy System Dedicated to Spot-Scanning Increases Accuracy with Moving Tumors by Real-Time Imaging and Gating and Reduces Equipment Size
PURPOSE A proton beam therapy (PBT) system has been designed which dedicates to spot-scanning and has a gating function employing the fluoroscopy-based real-time-imaging of internal fiducial markers near tumors. The dose distribution and treatment time of the newly designed real-time-image gated, spot-scanning proton beam therapy (RGPT) were compared with free-breathing spot-scanning proton bea...
متن کاملReal-time motion tracking in image-guided oral implantology.
BACKGROUND As a crucial part of an image-guided oral implantology system (IGOIS), intra-operative motion tracking is important in terms of accuracy and efficiency. The tracking method, including the relevant algorithms, is described in detail. METHODS The conventional CAD method is proposed to build the three-dimensional (3D) surgical instrument models. With the application of the optical tra...
متن کاملProton Beam Therapy for Pediatric Brain Tumor
Cancer is a major cause of childhood death, with central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms being the second most common pediatric malignancy, following hematological cancer. Treatment of pediatric CNS malignancies requires multimodal treatment using a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, and advances in these treatments have given favorable results and longer survival. However, ...
متن کاملAn improved optical flow tracking technique for real-time MR-guided beam therapies in moving organs.
Magnetic resonance (MR) guided high intensity focused ultrasound and external beam radiotherapy interventions, which we shall refer to as beam therapies/interventions, are promising techniques for the non-invasive ablation of tumours in abdominal organs. However, therapeutic energy delivery in these areas becomes challenging due to the continuous displacement of the organs with respiration. Pre...
متن کاملReal-time prompt γ monitoring in spot-scanning proton therapy using imaging through a knife-edge-shaped slit.
In this paper we report on Monte Carlo simulations to investigate real-time monitoring of the track depth profile in particle therapy by measuring prompt gamma ray emissions: a high sensitivity imaging system employing a knife-edge-shaped slit combined with a position-sensitive gamma detector was evaluated. Calculations to test this new concept were performed for a head-sized software phantom. ...
