TI - Advances in the Optimization of Medical Accelerators J2 - Proc. of IPAC2022, Bangkok, Thailand, 12-17 June 2022 CY - Bangkok, Thailand T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 13 LA - english AB - Between 2016 and 2020, 15 Fellows have carried out collaborative research within the 4 M⬠Optimization of Medical Accelerators (OMA) EU-funded innovative train-ing network. Based at universities, research and clinical facilities, as well as industry partners in several European countries, the Fellows have successfully developed a range of beam and patient imaging techniques, improved biological and physical models in Monte Carlo codes, and also helped improve the design of existing and future clinical facilities. This contribution presents three selected OMA research highlights: the use of Medipix3 for dosimetry and real-time beam monitoring, studies into the technical challenges for FLASH proton therapy, recognized by the European Journal of Medical Physics’ 2021 Galileo Gali-lei Award, and research into novel monitors for in-vivo dosimetry that emerged on the back of the OMA network.
