In this review article we emphasize the importance of "imaging" and "image guidance" in advanced particle therapy from a clinical point of view. Although the image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) technology used for photon and particle therapy is closely

Purpose: In this experimental study, the authors explored the possibility to deliver the dose for proton therapy with fast uniform scanning on a gantry primarily designed for the delivery of conformal beam scanning and IMPT. The uniform scanning subm

Proton therapy is a widely used method of cancer treatment. Undesired secondary particles such as neutrons accompany the irradiation. Depending on the measurement position, the expected main dose c...

The potential of tumour tracking for active spot-scanned proton therapy was assessed. Using a 4D-dose calculation and simulated target motion, a tumour tracking algorithm has been implemented and applied to a simple target volume in both homogenous a

Irradiation of a moving target with a scanning beam requires a comprehensive understanding of organ motion as well as a robust dose error mitigation technique. The authors studied the effects of intrafractional respiratory motion for carbon-ion penci
