Monte Carlo in Heavy Charged Particle Therapy: New Challenges in Ion Therapy: Series in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering

Editat de Pablo Cirrone, Giada Petringa
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 ian 2024
This book explores the current difficulties and unsolved problems in the field of particle therapy and, after analysing them, discusses how (and if) innovative Monte Carlo approaches can be used to solve them.
Each book chapter is dedicated to a different sub-discipline, including multi-ion treatments, flash-radiotherapy, laser-accelerated beams, nanoparticles effects, binary reactions to enhance radiobiology, and space-related issues. This is the first book able to provide a comprehensive insight into this exciting field and the growing use of Monte Carlo in medical physics.
It will be of interest to graduate students in medicine and medical physics, in addition to researchers and clinical staff.
Key Features:
  • Explores the exciting and interdisciplinary topic of Monte Carlo in particle therapy and medicine
  • Addresses common challenges in the field
  • Edited by an authority on the subject, with chapter contributions from specialists

Giada Petringa is a researcher at the Laboratori Nazionali del Sud of INFN, Italy. Dr. Petringa has a professional experience in the field of Monte Carlo simulations for medical applications, dosimetry, microdosimetry, and diagnostics with conventional and laser-driven proton beams. In 2019 she had a MSCA-IF-2019 (Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions-Individual Fellowship) grant funded by the European Community in the framework of the H2020 program. She is a member of the Editorial Board of the international journal Physica Medica - European Journal of Medical. She organized more than fifteen international Geant4 Schools. She is an official member of the Geant4 code Collaboration at CERN since 2019. She is a code developer, and she collaborates to maintain two of the official examples of the code.

Recenzii

“The book delves into the present challenges and issues encountered in ion therapy, exploring how Monte Carlo techniques can effectively tackle them. This volume addresses many issues including but not limited to particle dosimetry, calculation uncertainties, Linear Energy Transfer (LET), heavy ion specific quality assurance techniques, and relative biological effects…This book is an invaluable resource and reference for anyone interested in learning about the use and application of Monte Carlo techniques in particle therapy. While all chapters are relevant for Heavy Charge Particle therapy, some also apply to proton therapy. Certain topics, such as dosimetry, are well-established and serve as excellent reference material. However, other areas like FLASH and AI are currently undergoing intense research. Although these chapters may evolve rapidly, they provide valuable insights into cutting-edge developments in the field. While the book covers a wide range of topics, it reads more like a collection of individual subjects rather than a cohesive unit. Nonetheless, its comprehensive coverage and authoritative contributors ensure its significance as a comprehensive resource in the field.”
