6. Protons, other Light Ions, and 60Co Photons : Study of Energy Deposit Clustering via Track Structure Simulations
Abstract : Radiotherapy aims to sterilize cancer cells through ionization induced damages to their DNA whilst trying to reduce dose burdens to healthy tissues. This can be achieved to a certain extent by optimizing the choice of radiation to treat the patient, i.e. the types of particles and their energy based on their specific interaction patterns.

7. Modeling Silicon Diode Dose Response in Radiotherapy Fields using Fluence Pencil Kernels
Abstract : In radiotherapy, cancer is treated with ionizing radiation, most commonly bremsstrahlung photons from electrons of several MeV. Secondary electrons produced in photon-interactions results in dose deposition. The treatment response is low for low doses, raises sharply for normal treatment doses and saturates at higher doses.

8. Dose painting : Can radiotherapy be improved with image driven dose-responses derived from retrospective radiotherapy data?
Abstract : The main aim of curative radiotherapy for cancer is to prescribe and deliver doses that eradicate the tumor and spare the normal healthy tissues. Radiotherapy is commonly performed by delivering a homogeneous radiation dose to the tumor. READ MORE

9. Beam Modelling for Treatment Planning of Scanned Proton Beams
Abstract : Scanned proton beams offer the possibility to take full advantage of the dose deposition properties of proton beams, i.e. the limited range and sharp peak at the end of the range, the Bragg peak. READ MORE

10. Dose Management in Diagnostic Radiology - application of the DICOM imaging standard and a Monte Carlo dose engine for exposure surveillance
Abstract : Ionizing radiation is used in diagnostic radiology with a large contribution to the health of the patients. The regulations to limit the detrimental effects, e.g. cancer induction, are based on recommendations from the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). READ MORE
