Inelastic nuclear interaction (ICRU 63, Young and Chadwik 1997) . Compound nuclei decay (our simple and Russian MSDM models) . CT numbers describing 3D patient’s geometry . Correlation between CT numbers and tissue parameters: mass-density and elemental weight Numerical experiments setup: . Energy range from 100 keV to 250 MeV .

  7. Multi layer Faraday Cup (MLFC) experiments WHY: To specify the proton beam from accelerator and verify the quality and reproducibility of the proton beam for the proton therapy. WHO:Indiana University Cyclotron Facility HOW:Monte Carlo simulation by SRIM, SRNA-2KG and GEANT3 data compared with actual measurement data RECOMMENDATION:A simple test for nuclear interaction model can be checked by MLFC. Every Monte Carlo code to be used in charged particle therapy should pass this test (Paganetti)

  10. A parallel beam of protons from a disk source (diameter 15 mm) impinges on a PMMA compensator (cylindrical symmetry) and on a spherical water phantom approximating an eye (figure 1). All elements are in vacuum. If discrete regions are used for dose calculations (depth-dose and isodose curves), use voxels with dimensions 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 mm3. The results should be normalized to one primary proton

  11. INTERCOMPARISON OF THE USAGE OF COMPUTATIONAL CODES IN RADIATION DOSIMETRY Bologna, Italy, July 14-16 2003 Stefano Agosteo Dipartimento Ingegneria Nucleare,Politcnico Milano, Italy S: Fluka 2002 P3-F: srna-2kg

  14. ISTAR – proton dose planning software Trends in proton therapy planning: Development of the Monte Carlo proton transport numerical device capable of producing a therapy plan in less than 30 minutes and Development of clinically acceptable on-line procedures comprising all steps necessary for proper patient treatment. ISTAR software solved the first of these problems Why ISTAR ?

  18. PROTON DATA PLANNING window Picture Planning Data - information about the boundaries of the space selected for simulation; Beam geometrywith fields for selection of the beam shape (rectangular or cylindrical) and dimensions, Euler angles defining the direction of the beam axis with respect to the selected "Beam center", and polar and azimuthally angles of the proton emission within the local SRNA-VOX coordinate system; Simulation setup with fields for selection of proton energy (mean energy and standard deviation for Gaussian distribution, or custom defined spectrum), simulation cutoff energy, number of proton histories and the simulation time limit. The result of these actions is written in two files: (i) Hound.txt containing data about the defined region, proton source and Houndsfield's numbers for all voxels of the region; (ii) Srna.inp with the setup data for simulation.

  25. ISTAR advantages - The software is based on the knowledge and experience acquired in working on the SRNA - It is capable to accept CT data for defining patient’s anatomy and tissue composition - A simple procedure for selecting the irradiation area and incident proton beam parameters allow fast and comfortable calculation of the dose distribution and visualization of it in each CT recorded slice of the patient’s body. - Execution time is short enough to be introduced in clinical practice. - The statistical error of the obtained results can be made almost arbitrary small by simple increase of the number of the proton histories to a few millions, without exceeding e.g. 30 min as acceptable computer run time.

  26. CONCLUSION SRNA package advantages: Enlargementof the proton energy range, Increasing the efficiencyof the implemented algorithms in order to Decrease the timenecessary for proton transport simulation. Motivation for ISTAR proton dose planning software development were good results of verification of SRNA package.
