Evidence for external beam radiotherapy in mediastinal Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma - systematic review
Ann Agric Environ Med. 2024 Mar 25;31(1):47-56. doi: 10.26444/aaem/168272. Epub 2023 Jun 26.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Proton beam therapy (PBT) provides the opportunity for a more localized delivery of high energy protons and may reduce the damage to healthy tissues and vital organs. The aim of this review was to assess the effects of proton therapy for patients diagnosed with Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma treated with mediastinal irradiation.REVIEW METHODS: A systematic search of EMBASE, MEDLINE via OVID and Cochrane Library was conducted in May 2022 according to PRISMA guidelines to identify relevant data on ...

Comprehensive beam delivery latency evaluation for gated proton therapy system using customized multi-channel signal acquisition platform
CONCLUSION: With the developed multi-channel signal acquisition platform, it was able to investigate the gating lags happened in both the respiratory gating system and the proton treatment system. The resolution of the platform is enough to distinguish the delays at the millisecond time level. Both the respiratory gating system and the proton treatment system made contributions to gating latency. Both systems contributed nearly equally to the total beam ON latency, with approximately 100 ms. In contrast, the respiratory gating system was the dominant contributor to the total beam OFF latency.PMID:38551392 | DOI:10.1002/acm...
