Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of the Relative Biological Effectiveness for Ion Beam Radiotherapy: Direct Experimental Comparison of Proton and Carbon Ion Beams and a Novel Approach for Treatment Planning
Thilo Elsässer,Wilma K. Weyrather,Thomas Friedrich,Marco Durante,Gheorghe Iancu,Michael Krämer,Gabriele Kragl,Gabriele Kragl,Stephan Brons,Marcus Winter,Klaus-Josef Weber,M. Scholz +11 more
TL;DR: The experimental data and the new modeling approach are supportive of the advantages of carbon ions as compared with protons for treatment-like field configurations, and the model represents a powerful tool for further optimization and utilization of the potential of ion beams in tumor therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monte Carlo simulations to support start-up and treatment planning of scanned proton and carbon ion therapy at a synchrotron-based facility
Katia Parodi,Andrea Mairani,Andrea Mairani,Stephan Brons,B G Hasch,F Sommerer,F Sommerer,J Naumann,Oliver Jäkel,Thomas Haberer,Jürgen Debus +10 more
TL;DR: Information and guidelines for the start-up and clinical operation of forthcoming ion beam therapy facilities similar to HIT are provided and MC dose calculations of planned treatments in water are shown to represent a valuable tool for supporting treatment plan verification in comparison to dosimetric measurements.
