TL;DR: A carbon beam of 80 keV/microm in the spread-out Bragg peak was found to be equivalent in biological responses to the neutron beam that is produced at cyclotron facility in National Institute Radiological Sciences (NIRS) by bombarding 30-MeV deuteron beam on beryllium target.

TL;DR: A total treatment system of gated irradiation for heavy-ion radiotherapy found that with this system the target margin along the body axis could be decreased to 5-10 mm although the target moved twice or three times.

TL;DR: A complete description of the breathing synchronized radiotherapy (BSRT) system, which has been jointly developed between the University of California Davis Cancer Center and Varian Associates, and the dual role allows the system to be applicable for a variety of patients.

TL;DR: A heavy ion synchrotron complex for medical use at Chiba, Japan is described in this article, where the present status of the project is described. But the present system is not yet complete.

TL;DR: The proposed 'open PET' geometry, which consists of two axially separated detector rings, is expected to lead to realization of in-beam PET, which is a method for an in situ monitoring of charged particle therapy, by letting the beams pass through the gap.
