High-Throughput Mapping of The Biological Effects of Particle Therapy
<p>Radiation therapy is an essential tool in the cure of many cancer patients. Charged particle based radiation therapies are gaining momentum as the physical dose distributions of ions are superior to standard photons due their limited range. Additionally, charged particle radiation has been shown …

A new prompt gamma spectroscopy-based approach for range verification in proton therapy
Proton therapy is a well-established technology in radiotherapy, whose benefits stem from both physical and biological properties. Ions deposit the maximum dose, i.e. the ratio between the energy absorbed by the tissue and its mass (Gy = J/k g), in a localized region close to the end of their range …
