First clinical experience in carbon ion scanning beam therapy: retrospective analysis of patient positional accuracy
Our institute has constructed a new treatment facility for carbon ion scanning beam therapy. The first clinical trials were successfully completed at the end of November 2011. To evaluate patient setup accuracy, positional errors between the reference Computed Tomography (CT) scan and final patient...
