In this review article, we review the 3 important aspects of linear-energy-transfer (LET) in
intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) for head and neck (H&N) cancer management …

In radiotherapy, radiation-quality should be an expression of the biological and physical
characteristics of ionizing radiation such as spatial distribution of ionization or energy …

Purpose To commission an open source Monte Carlo (MC) dose engine,“MCsquare” for a
synchrotron‐based proton machine, integrate it into our in‐house C++‐based I/O user …

Monte Carlo (MC) simulations play an important role in radiotherapy, especially as a method
to evaluate physical properties that are either impossible or difficult to measure. For …

Treatment planning is the process where the prescription of the radiation oncologist is
translated into a deliverable treatment. With the complexity of contemporary radiotherapy …

Prompt gamma ray in proton therapy is the product of a nuclear reaction between a proton
and a target. The characteristic energies and intensities of prompt gamma lines can be used …

As medical facilities are usually built at urban areas, special concrete aggregates and
evaluation methods are needed to optimize the design of concrete walls by balancing …

Objective. The range uncertainty in proton radiotherapy is a limiting factor to achieve
optimum dose conformity to the tumour volume. Ionoacoustics is a promising approach for in …

In the framework of RBE modelling for hadron therapy, the BIANCA biophysical model was
extended to O-ions and was used to construct a radiobiological database describing the …

Purpose Magnetic resonance guidance in proton therapy (MRPT) is expected to improve its
current performance. The combination of magnetic fields with clinical proton beam lines …
