| Popis: | Human radiobiological studies using negative pi-mesons have recently been conducted at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility; metastatic tumor nodules in the skin and superficial tumors have been treated. Large tumors of the head and neck, cervix and rectum will be treated later this year to evaluate mucosal reactions. The dosimetry and treatment planning for these clinical studies is presented. Comparisons of measurements and calculations of the effect of inhomogeneities on pion dose distributions are shown. The pion treatment code, PIPLAN, and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Monte Carlo code have been compared and an example of their respective dose distribution calculations is given. |
