Abstract
At the Swiss Institute for Nuclear Research a 60 beam pion applicator for radiotherapy is under construction. The methods to produce homogeneous dose distributions in arbitrarily shaped volumes is presented, together with details on the activities in therapy planning and dosimetry in view of the use of the applicator for patients.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
