Priority:

Status:

Approved for completion
in 2003

Further Development of Methods and Instrumentation
for Radiotherapy and Associated Diagnostics
with JINR Hadron Beams

Leader:

G.V. Mitsin

Scientific Programme:
Medico-biological and clinical research for the treatment of cancer patients with beams of heavy nuclear particles of the JINR Phasotron and for the accompanying diagnostics.

Expected main results in 2003:

Continuation of clinical researches on proton therapy of cancer patients in room No 1.
Computation and construction of a set of ridge filters for Bragg peak modification of a proton beam with a sharp distal fall-off.
Development and construction of a system for verification of the main proton beam characteristics during radiotherapy.
Improvement of a therapeutic chair in treatment room 1 to perform irradiation of patients both in sitting and supine positions.
Development and improvement of detectors and tools for clinical dosimetry of the medical hadron beams.
Investigations on the molecular spectra of gene mutations induced by radiation in animal and human cells.
