This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ICRU report on Prescribing, Recording and Reporting Light Ion Beam Therapy has been submitted to the Journal of the ICRU by end of 2018. This report is the result of a longstanding collaboration between the IAEA and ICRU and has been initiated after joint meetings in Vienna, Austria (2004) and Columbus, Ohio (2006) in an attempt to standardize the reporting of light ion beam radiotherapy. It relies on concepts previously developed by the ICRU for reporting other therapies but with special emphasis on the use and reporting of RBE-weighted quantities. Such harmonization will facilitate the comparison of therapeutic results obtained with ions not only between ion beam therapy centers but also with centers using other modern forms of radiation therapy, such as proton-RT and IMRT with photon beams. The report outlines the different biological models used for calculating RBE weighted dose for light ion beam therapy and attempts to clarify their clinical use in order to enable a common understanding of clinical practice in various facilities. It gives detailed recommendations on how light ion beam therapy should be prescribed, recorded and reported. The physical and technical background of light ion beam therapy is explained. The recommendations on dosimetry were harmonized and updated according to ICRU report 90 (Key Data for Ionizing-Radiation Dosimetry: Measurement Standards and Applications, 2016) and with the upcoming revision of IAEAu2019s TRS-398 (Absorbed Dose Determination in External Beam Radiotherapy: An International Code of Practice for Dosimetry based on Standards of Absorbed Dose to Water, 2016).

Download or read book Proton Therapy Physics written by Harald Paganetti and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 691 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proton Therapy Physics goes beyond current books on proton therapy to provide an in-depth overview of the physics aspects of this radiation therapy modality, eliminating the need to dig through information scattered in the medical physics literature. After tracing the history of proton therapy, the book summarizes the atomic and nuclear physics background necessary for understanding proton interactions with tissue. It describes the physics of proton accelerators, the parameters of clinical proton beams, and the mechanisms to generate a conformal dose distribution in a patient. The text then covers detector systems and measuring techniques for reference dosimetry, outlines basic quality assurance and commissioning guidelines, and gives examples of Monte Carlo simulations in proton therapy. The book moves on to discussions of treatment planning for single- and multiple-field uniform doses, dose calculation concepts and algorithms, and precision and uncertainties for nonmoving and moving targets. It also examines computerized treatment plan optimization, methods for in vivo dose or beam range verification, the safety of patients and operating personnel, and the biological implications of using protons from a physics perspective. The final chapter illustrates the use of risk models for common tissue complications in treatment optimization. Along with exploring quality assurance issues and biological considerations, this practical guide collects the latest clinical studies on the use of protons in treatment planning and radiation monitoring. Suitable for both newcomers in medical physics and more seasoned specialists in radiation oncology, the book helps readers understand the uncertainties and limitations of precisely shaped dose distribution.
