A system to expose biological specimens to medium-energy (2.6–6.0 MeV/u) irradiation has
been developed at the NIRS-HIMAC. In order to determine the beam energy or LET at the …

Purpose: Compared to photons, using particle radiation in radiotherapy reduces the dose
and irradiated volume of normal tissues, potentially reducing side effects. The biological …

Abstract Since 2011, a three-dimensional (3D) scanning irradiation system has been utilized
for treatments at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences-Heavy Ion Medical …

In this paper we describe the design of an ion-beam monitor developed to control
irradiations of biological samples with ions at the Grand Accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds …

Purpose: To study the effects of low-dose, high-LET irradiation in order to detect possible
deviations from a linear-quadratic dose dependence. Materials and methods: Experiments …

High dose gradients are inherent to ion beam therapy. This results in high sensitivity to
discrepancies between planned and delivered dose distributions. Therefore an accurate …
