Scientists from European countries can perform their experiments. If you wish to use the infrastructure of our resort, complete and send the survey to INSPIRE Coordinator address.
Our equipment includes:
- two gantries
- proton eye therapy line
- dual energy CT
- dosimetry equipment
- TPS (Eclipse 13.6)
TMZ – treated glioblastoma cell lines (GBM) are studied in vitro. Cell survival potential is studied at different positions of the Bragg peak, after different doses of protons, and of X-rays, using various radiobiological tests, such as micronuclei or clonogenic assays.
New proton therapy techniques are in preparation. Several separated proton beams decrease complications after radiation therapy.
Multi-scale modeling makes it possible to predict the efficacy and side effects of treatment by including basic cellour and chemical effects of radiation. Simulations of the interaction of radiation with matter may lead to clinical optimalization of the proton therapy. The applied Monte-Carlo methods deliver the spatial distribution of radiation doses and a spectrum of parameters describing the quality of radiation beams.
3D printing technology has been rapidly growing in the recent years. 3D printing has also been used recently in radiotherapy to produce individualized phantoms, boluses or compensators.
Within the INSPIRE project we develop 3D printing, testing and implementation of patient-specific compensators for proton radiotherapy, to improve the quality of treatment and minimize healthy tissues exposure.
We invite all interested to read the detailed documentation, assumptions and project statistics.
