12 Introduction Motivation therapy needs to be upgraded. Upgrading irradiation system - raster scanning system - rotating gantry system Upgrading control system Upgrading patient handling system Upgrading treatment planning system Further development of heavy-ion therapy - Adaptive therapy - Intensity modulated Ion Therapy (IMIT) New facility Hospital New treatment facility project

13 Introduction Motivation ~ adaptive therapy Intra & interfractional changes from time resolved imaging (seconds to days) using CT/FPD devices could be feed-back to the treatment planning. The rich information could extend to replan, 4D plan and patient registration etc.

14 Introduction Motivation ~ IMIT IMIT plan example 0 deg 0 d e g Gantry with 3D scanning makes it possible to realize Intensity Modulated Ion Therapy (IMIT). 288 deg 72 deg Volume [%] PTV IMIT PTV Sngl GTV IMIT GTV Sngl CRD IMIT CRD Sngl Dose [%] 216 deg 144 deg - Improved dose conformity and steeper dose gradients - Further reduction of integral dose - Less sensitivity to range uncertainties and other sources of uncertainty
