Particle Therapy 2017

Pencil beam scanning

Requirements for accelerator: - stable beam position

Spot scanning: step & shoot

Continuous scanning

allows fast target repainting : 15-30 scans / 2 min. Requirements for accelerator: - stable beam position - continuous and stable beam - fast adjustable beam intensity - fast adjustable beam energy

kHz-Intensity modulation

0 time (ms) 10 intensity
