A recent article from the Medical University of Vienna discusses the clinical implementation of 4D particle therapy research concepts in radiation oncology. The review highlights the current state-of-the-art technology and outlines a roadmap for future research and developments. The article emphasizes the importance of motion surveillance and compensation in 4D particle treatment, as well as the diverse delivery techniques and strategies that depend on various factors such as motion amplitude and tumour location. The research concludes that rapid technological advances in radiation oncology, along with adaptive strategies, have paved the way for the clinical implementation of 4D particle therapy.
