Protons and carbon ions (hadrons) have useful properties for the treatments of patients
affected by oncological pathologies. They are more precise than conventional X-rays and …

Although rare cancers, ocular tumors are a threat to vision, quality of life, and potentially life
expectancy of a patient. Ocular proton therapy (OPT) is a powerful tool for successfully …

Purpose To develop a high‐resolution three‐dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI)‐based treatment planning approach for uveal melanomas (UM) in proton therapy …

Purpose Only few centers worldwide treat intraocular tumors with proton therapy, all of them
with a dedicated beamline, except in one case in the USA. The Italian National Center for …

Purpose Over the last four decades, Ocular Proton Therapy has been successfully used to
treat patients affected by intraocular lesions. For this, treatment geometry verification is …

We present a new gaze tracking-based navigation scheme for proton beam radiation of
intraocular tumors and we show the technical integration into the treatment facility. Currently …

Featured Application Setup optimization in ocular proton therapy. Abstract This study
describes a method for setup optimization in patient simulation for ocular proton therapy …

Purpose We present a new method to evaluate the accuracy of an eye tracker-based eye
localization system. Measuring the accuracy of an eye tracker's primary intention, the …

Purpose Definition of the optimal treatment schedule for high-risk prostate cancer is under
debate. A combination of photon intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) on pelvis with a …

Background and purpose An optical tracking system for high-precision measurement of eye
position and orientation during proton irradiation of intraocular tumors was designed. The …
