5 Why ions? Ions have a very appealing dose distribution for sparing organs at risk Proton beam Carbon ion beam H Paganetti et al. Phys. Med. Biol D Schulz-Ertner et al., Semin Radiat Oncol 16: , 2006
6 Proton and carbon ion facilities Requirement of a single synchrotron serving several gantries Gantry is over 100 tons (versus 2 tons for linac) Isocenter accuracy is < 1 mm Prtreatment imaging is crucial!

17 Why MRI-guided RT? MR provides high contrast in soft tissues No radiation dose! Positioning Accurate structure identification Real time tracking Reduction of margins Jan Lagendijk (UMC), Bas Raaymakers (UMC), Johan Overweg (Philips), Kevin Brown (Elekta)
