6. 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

7. Monte Carlo particle transport codes for ion beam therapy treatment planning : Validation, development and applications
Abstract : External radiotherapy with proton and ion beams needs accurate tools for the dosimetric characterization of treatment fields. Monte Carlo (MC) particle transport codes, such as FLUKA and GEANT4, can be a valuable method to increase accuracy of dose calculations and to support various aspects of ion beam therapy (IBT), such as treatment planning and monitoring.

8. Automated radiation therapy treatment planning by increased accuracy of optimization tools
Abstract : Every radiation therapy treatment is preceded by a treatment planning phase. In this phase, a treatment plan that specifies exactly how to irradiate the patient is designed by the treatment planner. READ MORE

9. Resource recovery from wastewater treatment: challenges, opportunities and guidance for planning and implementation
Abstract : Considering the current resources scarcity, Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) should be adapted to become more sustainable. For example, it is possible to recover resources present in municipal wastewater. READ MORE

10. Development and application of composite energy deposition kernels for photon therapy planning
Abstract : In recent years, the use of optimization algorithms in radiation therapy planning has increased dramatically. All optimization algorithms as well as most modern implementations of conventional therapy planning, use energy deposition kernels as a fundamental part of the calculations. READ MORE
