Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of Gafchromic® EBT3 films characteristics in therapy photon, electron and proton beams.

TL;DR: The low combined uncertainty observed and low beam and energy-dependence make EBT3 suitable for dosimetry in various applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Monte Carlo pencil beam scanning model for proton treatment plan simulation using GATE/GEANT4

TL;DR: This work proposes a generic method for modeling scanned ion beam delivery systems, without simulation of the treatment nozzle and based exclusively on beam data library (BDL) measurements required for treatment planning systems (TPS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimization of GEANT4 settings for Proton Pencil Beam Scanning simulations using GATE

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared different GEANT4 settings for proton therapy applications in the context of treatment planning system comparison, in order to determine a robust, accurate and efficient simulation environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

GATE as a GEANT4-based Monte Carlo platform for the evaluation of proton pencil beam scanning treatment plans

TL;DR: This work presents a generic method to compare TPS dose distributions with the GATE Monte Carlo platform, noting that GATE is also a convenient tool for imaging applications, therefore opening new research possibilities for the PBS modality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Submillimeter ionoacoustic range determination for protons in water at a clinical synchrocyclotron.

TL;DR: Ionoacoustics has thus the potential to measure the Bragg peak position with submillimeter accuracy during proton therapy, possibly correlated with ultrasound tissue imaging.
