Clinical implementation and commissioning of the MedAustron Particle Therapy Accelerator for non‐isocentric scanned proton beam treatments

Abstract

Non-isocentric treatments have been successfully implemented at MedAustron for routine scanned proton beam therapy using horizontal and vertical fixed beamlines. Up to now every patient was treated in non-isocentric conditions. The presented methodology to implement a new Scanned Ion Beam Delivery (SIBD) system into clinical routine for proton therapy may serve as a guidance for other centers.
