Evaluation of Dose Change to Brain Tumor in Proton Therapy by Utilizing Magnetic Field, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Vosoughi, Naser (Supervisor) ; Salimi, Ehsan (Supervisor)
Abstract
The use of protons and charged particles such as carbon in the treatment of cancerous tumors is one of the new methods of external radiation therapy. Proton therapy can achieve almost the same tumor dose coverage as traditional photon therapy with a greatly reduced dose to the normal organ. The radiation deviations caused by the magnetic field are an effective factor in reducing the dose of vital organs without sacrificing the dose coverage of tumors; Therefore, a new method of proton therapy, called magnetic field-modulated proton therapy, has been proposed, in which the Bragg peak positions of proton beams can be modulated under the cover of predesigned magnetic fields inside cancer...
