Design Studies of the Superconducting Cyclotrons for Proton Therapy | |
|
||
| Different projects of the cyclotrons for proton therapy were considered in order to provide Medical Technical Complex at JINR, Dubna by proton beam. Our projects can be used for development of the accelerator for proton therapy for the other medical centers. We propose project of the superconducting cyclotron accelerating protons up to energy 250 MeV and superconducting synchrocyclotron which can be used as the 70 MeV protons source for radiation therapy of the shallow-allocated tumors. Conceptual designs of cyclotrons are considered. Main parameters of the magnetic and accelerating systems are chosen. Main aspects of the beam dynamics are studied by means of simulation of the acceleration in the main region of radii, in the extraction region and simulation of the particles capture into acceleration in the very center of the machine. | ||

| JINR is one of the leading proton therapy research centers of the in Russia. The modern technique of 3D conformal proton radiotherapy was first effectuated in Russia in this center, and now it is effectively used in regular treatment sessions. A special Medico-Technical Complex was created at JINR on the basis of the phasotron used for proton treatment. About 100 patients undergo a course of fractionated treatment here every year. During last 14 years were treated by proton beams about more than 1000 patients . A project of the demonstration center of the proton therapy is discussed on base of a superconducting 250 MeV synchrocyclotron. The superconducting synchrocyclotron is planned to install instead of phasotron in Medical Technical Complex of DLNP. The new transport channel is designed for beam delivery to the JINR medical cabin. | ||
