Status of the Medaustron Ion Beam Therapy Centre
نویسنده
چکیده
MedAustron is a synchrotron based light-ion beam therapy centre for cancer treatment as well as for clinical and non-clinical research currently in its construction phase. The accelerator design is based on the CERNPIMMS study [1] and its technical implementation by CNAO. This paper presents a status overview over the whole project detailing the achieved progress of the building construction & technical infrastructure installation in Wiener Neustadt, Austria, as well as of the accelerator development, performed at CERN and partially at PSI. The design and procurement status and future planning of the various accelerator components is elaborated.

Status of Medaustron the Austrian Ion Therapy and Research Centre
MedAustron is the Austrian center for hadron therapy and non-clinical research. The accelerator design is based on the PIMMS study [1] and features proton beams of up to 800 MeV and carbon ion beams of up to 400 MeV/u. The accelerator is currently being installed and the beam commissioning has started early 2013. The injector comprising three ECR sources, an RFQ and an IH-mode structure has alr...
متن کاملStatus of Proton Beam Commissioning at the Medaustron Ion Beam Therapy Centre
The MedAustron accelerator (Wiener Neustadt, Austria) will deliver clinical beams of protons (60 250 MeV) and carbon ions (120 400 MeV/n) to three ion beam therapy irradiation rooms (IR). Clinical beams and proton beams up to 800 MeV will be provided in a fourth IR, dedicated to non-clinical research. A slow-extracted proton beam of maximum clinical energy reached for the first time the IR3 in ...

متن کاملImpact of Various Beam Parameters on Lateral Scattering in Proton and Carbon-ion Therapy
Background: In radiation therapy with ion beams, lateral distributions of absorbed dose in the tissue are important. Heavy ion therapy, such as carbon-ion therapy, is a novel technique of high-precision external radiotherapy which has advantages over proton therapy in terms of dose locality and biological effectiveness.Methods: In this study, we used Monte Carlo method-based Geant4 toolkit to s...
متن کاملCalculation of WER values of some dosimetric plastic materials applied at helium ion beam therapy
In this research, water equivalent ratios (WER) at helium ion beam energy ranging 25-250 MeV/u for four potential plastic dosimetric materials: polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and paraffin have been calculated using MCNPX Monte Carlo code. Among studied materials, PC and PP with 0.979 and 1.177 show minimum and maximum differences with water respectively....
