Treatment of moving targets (8 projects)

Proton therapy (PT) permits highly conformal dose distributions, enabling radiotherapy treatments that result in a high probability of controlling the tumor, and in a low toxicity of surrounding organs. Moving targets, however, are a challenge for PT due to the time-dependent variations in beam range and due to interplay effects that occur for scanned proton treatments.

We have various projects that aim at a safer and more efficient treatment of moving targets with scanned proton beams:

4D Plan Evaluation

4D Image-Guidance (2 projects)

Motion Mitigation

Deformable Image Registration (2 projects)

4D Quality Assurance

MR-guided proton therapy
