“…The first hospital-based proton therapy centre for ocular melanomas was opened in 1989 at the Clatterbridge Cancer Centre (United Kingdom), using a 60 MeV cyclotron. It was only in 1998 that the first dedicated commercial proton-therapy cyclotron was clinically used, at National Cancer Center in Kashiwa (Japan) [21], followed three years later by the Massachusetts General Hospital [22]. In a cyclotron, particles are extracted from a source positioned at the centre of the cyclotron.…”

In the last decades, important technological progress has been made to enhance the quality and efficiency of particle therapy treatments. Continuous improvements in dose delivery, treatment planning and verification techniques have lead to higher dose conformity and better sparing of healthy tissue. At the same time, particle therapy treatments are complex and much more expensive than conventional radiotherapy, and only highly specialized facilities can offer these treatments. Cost reduction is thus a strong drive behind technological developments in the field. The number of treatment facilities offering proton and carbon therapy has strongly grown in the last decades, and the amount of research efforts and innovations have increased continuously.From a technological perspective, advances in hardware are often accompanied by innovations in software and computation, and vice versa. In this review we will present a basic overview of technological advances in particle therapy hardware (accelerators, gantries, applications of superconductivity, treatment verification techniques), software (Monte Carlo simulations, treatment planning calculations), and studies towards clinical applications. By combining a broad selection of topics into a single review and by covering both proton and carbon therapy, we aim at providing the reader a unique overview of the evolution of various technologies developed for particle therapy.

“…Table 1, while photographs of HM-20 and Cyclone 18/9 are shown in Figures 6 and 7, (Beeckman et al, 1995;Jongen et al, 1993), it features a high magnetic field to minimize size, weight, and cost while avoiding superconducting coils. The radial probe can be used to measure the beam intensity and orbit pattern in the cyclotron.…”

“…The C235 is a compact, spiralled cyclotron designed by Ion Beam Applications (IBA) in collaboration with Sumitomo Heavy Industries (SHI), for the purpose of providing 235 MeV proton beams to be used in Proton Therapy Systems [3,4,5]. It is a 4 sector machine with 2 spiraled dees occupying two of the valleys.…”

The charge collection efficiency of a probe traversing a compact spiraled 235 MeV cyclotron at a constant azimuth is calculated from .2 R extract to R extract, taking into account the varying angle of incidence of the beam, the energy dependant stopping range, beam straggling in the probe, nuclear stopping due to inelastic collisions, and probe geometry, as well as beam offcentering effects. This is verified with experiment, and used to design a probe with less sensitivity to centering effects near extraction. This probe improves the consistency and accuracy of internal transmission, and extraction efficiency measurements.
