Desde el Grupo de Física Nuclear de la Universidad Complutense hemos realizado múltiples campañas de experimentación en centros clínicos de protonterapia como el Centro de Protonterapia Quironsalud, el WPE de Essen, KVI, o el Roberts Proton Therapy Center, de la Universidad de Pennsylvania.
En la charla se detallarán los principales resultados obtenidos de dichas campañas, así como los...
Neutrons are a highly penetrating type of radiation that can contribute significantly to the total absorbed dose in the human body. As a result, monitoring neutron dose rates is crucial in various facilities to minimize the risk of harm to workers, patients, and the public. Commercial portable neutron detectors, also known as ambient neutron dosimeters, are typically used for this purpose....
Proton therapy is the most precise external radiotherapy modality offering better dose distribution (exact-precision dosimetry, i.e., precise radiation dose and location) and, as a result, less radioactivity exposure to healthy tissues and a lower likelihood of unneeded radioinduced side effects.
The fact that protons have a limited range when they enter the body is one of the key benefits...
Research at the Institute for Instrumentation in Molecular Imaging (i3M, Valencia) is related to the development of diagnostic systems and clinical or preclinical applications of nuclear physics techniques. We present two recent advances related to particle therapy. The necessity for online range measurement for the real-time determination of the position of the Bragg peak has been much...
In this contribution, I will review technologies and applied translational research activities ongoing at the R&D lab of the Cyclotron Centre Bronowice (CCB), proton therapy center in Krakow, Poland. I will show examples of clinical translation of developed technologies to routine proton treatment planning and quality assurance (QA). Individual projects presented here have been conducted in...
