12 Why do we need Quality Assurance? The use of protons or ions as a radiotheraputic beam requires a higher precision in the correct delivery of the prescibed treatment plan. Uncertainties may arise from: Dose delivery uncertainties Delivery system Beam modelling CT units and range Spatial uncertainties Patient positioning Target delineation Organ motion Patient anatomy, motion, repositioning 12

33 Relative dose [%] Why Hadrontherapy? X-ray gamma neutron proton carbon 10 million habitants (20000pts/ year) Depth in water [cm] Protons and ions deposit the bulk of their energy at the end of their range in the Bragg peak. -better conformity of dose distribution Hoffmann, -Higher RBE at tumour site PPARC lower dose to healthy tissues both on entry and exit channels 12% of Xray patients (2400pts/year) Hoffmann, PPARC
