Techniques of Conformal Radiotherapy with Heavy Ion Beam

Key words: 
• heavy ion beam /
• conformal radiotherapy /

• biological effect

Abstract: The conformal radiotherapy techniques mainly include the two systems that are beam delivery and treatment planning. The formal is the hardware basis while the later is the software supplement for heavy ion conformal therapy, they are dependent on each other to realize the cancer conformal therapy with heavy ion beam. Because of the specificities of interaction between heavy ion and target on both physics and biological effects, the heavy ion cancer therapy especially involves...
