Characterization of the Mixed Radiation Field Produced by Carbon and Oxygen Ion Beams of Therapeutic Energy: A Monte Carlo Simulation Study

PURPOSE: The main advantages of charged particle radiotherapy compared to conventional X-ray external beam radiotherapy are a better tumor conformality coupled with the capability of treating deep-seated radio-resistant tumors. This work investigates the possibility to use oxygen beams for hadron th...
