“…How these detectors are used clinically with heavy charged-particle beams will be the subject of this section. 68 Since any detector or detector system has limitations and only measures a subset of the quantities characterizing a particle beam or radiation field, a broad variety of d~tection methods are needed for measuring all the quantities of interest. These uses include following applications: dose detectors whose signals are proportional to absorbed dose, ' radiation detectors that can be used to measure dose after being calibrated for a particular type of radiation, detectors for absolute calibration measurem~nts, and specialized detectors which measure properties of individual particles, such as lineal energy transfer, scattering angle or scattering cross section.…”

Clinical trials using accelerated heavy charged-particle beams for treating cancer and other diseases have been performed for nearly four decades. Recently there have been worldwide efforts to construct hospital-based medically dedicated proton or light-ion accelerator facilities. To make such accelerated heavy charged-particle beams clinically useful, specialized instruments must be developed to modify the physical characteristics of the particle beams in order to optimize their biological and clinical effects. This article reviews the beam modifying devices and associated dosimetric equipment developed specifically for controlling and monitoring the clinical beams.

A review is presented of the recent literature in the areas of physics which deal with radiation effects on man and animals. Some consideration is given to natural and artificial radiation sources such as cosmic rays, radon and high energy accelerators. The interaction of radiation with matter is treated if it is related to an energy deposition pattern relevant to biological effects. Dosimetry is also treated, with special emphasis on papers dealing with spatial dose distribution on a microscopic level, and radiobiological models relating the energy deposition pattern to biological effects are cited. New techniques in the medical application of radiation in diagnostics and therapy are briefly mentioned.
