Validating production of PET radionuclides in solid and liquid targets: Comparing Geant4 predictions with FLUKA and measurements
/ Amin, T (Huddersfield U.) ; Infantino, A (CERN) ; Barlow, R (Huddersfield U.) ; Hoehr, C (TRIUMF)
The Monte Carlo toolkit Geant4 is used to simulate the production of a number of positron emitting radionuclides: 13 N, 18 F, 44 Sc, 52 Mn, 55 Co 61 Cu, 68 Ga, 86 Y, 89 Zr and 94 Tc, which have been produced using a 13 MeV medical cyclotron. The results are compared to previous simulations with the Monte Carlo code FLUKA and experimental measurements. [...]

Validation of Geant4 fragmentation for Heavy Ion Therapy
/ Bolst, David (Wollongong U.) ; Cirrone, Giuseppe A P (INFN, Catania) ; Cuttone, Giacomo (INFN, Catania) ; Folger, Gunter (CERN) ; Incerti, Sebastien (CENBG, Gradignan) ; Ivanchenko, Vladimir (CERN ; Tomsk State U.) ; Koi, Tatsumi (SLAC) ; Mancusi, Davide (Saclay) ; Pandola, Luciano (INFN, Catania) ; Romano, Francesco (INFN, Catania ; Teddington, Natl. Phys. Lab) et al.
$^{12}$C ion therapy has had growing interest in recent years for its excellent dose conformity. However at therapeutic energies, which can be as high as 400 MeV/u, carbon ions produce secondary fragments. [...]

Optimization of proton therapy eye-treatment systems toward improved clinical performances
/ Gnacadja, Eustache (Unlisted, BE) ; Hernalsteens, Cédric (CERN) ; Boogert, Stewart (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Flandroy, Quentin (Unlisted, BE) ; Fuentes, Carolina (Unlisted, BE) ; Nevay, Laurence J (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Pauly, Nicolas (Unlisted, BE) ; Ramoisiaux, Eliott (Unlisted, BE) ; Shields, William (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Tesse, Robin (Unlisted, BE) et al.
The treatment protocols of cancerous ocular diseases with proton therapy are well established, and dedicated eye-treatment systems can produce the clinical beam properties that meet the peculiar features required by eye-treatment modalities. However, for general-purpose multiroom systems comprising eye-treatment beamlines and nozzles, the design and commissioning procedures must be optimized to achieve the performances of fully dedicated systems in terms of depth-dose distal falloff, lateral penumbra, and dose rate.

A Monte Carlo-based treatment-planning tool for ion beam therapy
/ Böhlen, T T (CERN ; Stockholm U. ; Karolinska Inst., Stockholm) ; Bauer, J (Heidelberg Ion-Beam Therapy Center, Heidelberg ; Heidelberg University Clinic) ; Dosanjh, M (CERN) ; Ferrari, A (CERN) ; Haberer, T (Heidelberg Ion-Beam Therapy Center, Heidelberg) ; Parodi, K (Heidelberg Ion-Beam Therapy Center, Heidelberg ; Heidelberg University Clinic ; Munich U.) ; Patera, V (U. Rome La Sapienza) ; Mairan, A (CNAO, Pavia)
Ion beam therapy, as an emerging radiation therapy modality, requires continuous efforts to develop and improve tools for patient treatment planning (TP) and research applications. Dose and fluence computation algorithms using the Monte Carlo (MC) technique have served for decades as reference tools for accurate dose computations for radiotherapy. [...]
