Publikováno v: Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment, Vol 23 (2024)

Purpose: The aim of this matched-pair cohort study was to evaluate the potential of intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) for sparring of the pelvic bone marrow and thus reduction of hematotoxicity compared to intensity-modulated photon radiother

Publikováno v: Advances in Radiation Oncology, Vol 8, Iss 2, Pp 101105- (2023)

Purpose: Surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT) has been investigated intensively to ensure correct patient positioning during a radiation therapy course. Although the implementation is well defined for photon-beam facilities, only a few analyses ha

Publikováno v: Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, Vol 6, Iss , Pp 25-30 (2018)

Background and purpose: Stopping-power ratios (SPRs) are used in particle therapy to calculate particle range in patients. The heuristic CT-to-SPR conversion (Hounsfield Look-Up-Table, HLUT), needed for treatment planning, depends on CT-scan and reco
