Dosimetric validation of Monte Carlo and analytical dose engines with raster-scanning $^1$H, $^4$He, $^{12}$C, and $^{16}$O ion-beams using an anthropomorphic phantom
/ Mein, Stewart (NCRO, Heidelberg ; Heidelberg U. Hospital ; DKFZ, Heidelberg) ; Kopp, Benedikt (Heidelberg U. Hospital ; Heidelberg U. ; DKFZ, Heidelberg) ; Tessonnier, Thomas (Centre Francois Baclesse, Caen) ; Ackermann, Benjamin (Heidelberg U. Hospital) ; Ecker, Swantje (Heidelberg U.

With high-precision radiotherapy on the rise towards mainstream healthcare, comprehensive validation procedures are essential, especially as more sophisticated technologies emerge. In preparation for the upcoming
translation of novel ions, case-/disease-specific ion-beam selection and advanced multi-particle treatment
modalities at the Heidelberg Ion-beam Therapy Center (HIT), we quantify the accuracy limits in particle therapy
treatment planning under complex heterogeneous conditions for the four ions ($^1$H, $^4$He, $^{12}$C, $^{16}$O) using a Monte
Carlo Treatment Planning platform (MCTP), an independent GPU-accelerated analytical dose engine developed
in-house (FRoG) and the clinical treatment planning system (Syngo RT Planning). [...]

Models able to predict relative biological effectiveness (RBE) values are necessary for an accurate determination of the biological effect with proton and $^4$He ion beams. This is particularly important when including RBE calculations in treatment planning studies comparing biologically optimized proton and $^4$He ion beam plans. [...]

The introduction of 'new' ion species in particle therapy needs to be supported by a thorough assessment of their dosimetric properties and by treatment planning comparisons with clinically used proton and carbon ion beams. In addition to the latter two ions, helium and oxygen ion beams are foreseen at the Heidelberg Ion Beam Therapy Center (HIT) as potential assets for improving clinical outcomes in the near future.

In the field of particle therapy helium ion beams could offer an alternative for radiotherapy treatments, owing to their interesting physical and biological properties intermediate between protons and carbon ions. We present in this work the comparisons and validations of the Monte Carlo FLUKA code against in-depth dosimetric measurements acquired at the Heidelberg Ion Beam Therapy Center (HIT). [...]
