Journal ArticleDOI
Dosimetric commissioning and quality assurance of scanned ion beams at the Italian National Center for Oncological Hadrontherapy
Alfredo Mirandola,Silvia Molinelli,G. Vilches Freixas,Andrea Mairani,E. Gallio,D. Panizza,Stefania Russo,Mario Ciocca,M. Donetti,Giuseppe Magro,Simona Giordanengo,Roberto Orecchia +11 more
TL;DR: After successful dosimetric beam commissioning, quality assurance measurements performed during a 24-month period show very stable beam characteristics, which are therefore suitable for performing safe and accurate patient treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a commercial scintillation detector for 2-D dosimetry in scanned proton and carbon ion beams.
Stefania Russo,Alfredo Mirandola,Silvia Molinelli,Edoardo Mastella,A. Vai,Giuseppe Magro,Andrea Mairani,D. Boi,M. Donetti,Mario Ciocca +9 more
TL;DR: Preliminary results have shown that Lynx is suitable to be used for commissioning and QA checks for proton and carbon ion scanning beams; the cross-check with EBT3 films showed a good agreement between the two detectors, for both single spot and scanned field measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dose prescription in carbon ion radiotherapy: How to compare two different RBE-weighted dose calculation systems
Silvia Molinelli,Giuseppe Magro,Andrea Mairani,Naruhiro Matsufuji,Nobuyuki Kanematsu,Taku Inaniwa,Alfredo Mirandola,Stefania Russo,Edoardo Mastella,Azusa Hasegawa,Hiroshi Tsuji,Shigeru Yamada,Barbara Vischioni,Viviana Vitolo,Alfredo Ferrari,Mario Ciocca,Tadashi Kamada,Hirohiko Tsujii,Roberto Orecchia,Piero Fossati +19 more
TL;DR: Prescription dose conversion factors could minimize target physical dose variations due to the use of different radiobiological models in the calculation of CIRT RBE-weighted dose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Commissioning of the 4-D treatment delivery system for organ motion management in synchrotron-based scanning ion beams.
Mario Ciocca,Alfredo Mirandola,Silvia Molinelli,Stefania Russo,Edoardo Mastella,A. Vai,Andrea Mairani,Giuseppe Magro,Andrea Pella,M. Donetti,Francesca Valvo,Piero Fossati,Guido Baroni +12 more
TL;DR: Results of measurements performed on different phantoms showed that the combination of gating and layered repainting is suitable to treat moving targets using scanning ion beams.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proton and carbon ion radiotherapy in skull base chordomas: a prospective study based on a dual particle and a patient-customized treatment strategy
Alberto Iannalfi,E. D’Ippolito,Giulia Riva,Silvia Molinelli,Sara Gandini,G. Viselner,Maria Rosaria Fiore,Barbara Vischioni,Viviana Vitolo,Maria Bonora,Sara Ronchi,Rachele Petrucci,Amelia Barcellini,Alfredo Mirandola,Stefania Russo,A. Vai,Edoardo Mastella,Giuseppe Magro,Davide Maestri,Mario Ciocca,Lorenzo Preda,Francesca Valvo,Roberto Orecchia +22 more
TL;DR: Particle radiotherapy is an effective treatment for skull base chordoma with acceptable late toxicity and Gross Tumor Volume, optic pathways and/or brainstem compression and dose coverage are independent prognostic factors of local failure risk.
