The treatment of cancer with proton radiation therapy was first suggested in 1946 followed
by the first treatments in the 1950s. As of 2020, almost 200 000 patients have been treated …

There is growing interest in the radiotherapy community in the application of FLASH
radiotherapy, wherein the dose is delivered to the entire treatment volume in less than a …

The physical and clinical benefits of charged particle therapy (CPT) are well recognized.
However, the availability of CPT and complete exploitation of dosimetric advantages are still …

Higher dose rates, a trend for radiotherapy machines, can be beneficial in shortening
treatment times for radiosurgery and mitigating the effects of motion. Recently, even higher …

We report on the design and test of a curved superconducting magnet completed as part of a
collaborative project between Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the Paul Scherrer …

FLASH irradiations use dose-rates orders of magnitude higher than commonly used in
patient treatments. Such irradiations have shown interesting normal tissue sparing in cell …

Background Intensity‐modulated proton therapy (IMPT) is a well‐known delivery method of
proton therapy. Besides higher plan quality, reducing the delivery time is also essential to …

Objective. Investigating the aspects of proton beam delivery to track organ motion with pencil
beam scanning therapy. Considering current systems as a reference, specify requirements …

Purpose Energy changes in pencil beam scanning proton therapy can be a limiting factor in
delivery time, hence, limiting patient throughput and the effectiveness of motion mitigation …

Proton therapy (PT) is an external radiotherapy using proton beams with energies between
70 and 230 MeV to treat some type of tumours with outstanding benefits, due to its energy …
