title: Fluorescent nuclear track detectors as a tool for ion-beam therapy research creator: Greilich, Steffen creator: Osinga, Julia-Maria creator: Niklas, Martin creator: Lauer, Florian creator: Klimpki, Grischa creator: Bestvater, Felix creator: Bartz, Jerry creator: Akselrod, Mark creator: Jäkel, Oliver subject: ddc-530 subject: 530 Physics subject: ddc-610 subject: 610 Medical sciences Medicine description: Fluorescent nuclear track detectors based on Al2O3:C,Mg with their excellent efficiency for detection of heavy charged particles and full 3D information from laser scanning microscopy allow a multitude of issues related to ion-beam cancer therapy to be tackled. A recently established read out protocol enables the utilization of a commercial microscope similar to those available in many life-science environments. This contribution illustrates the approach, its potential and limitations, as well as applications in clinical ion beams. publisher: Elsevier date: 2013-09-16 type: Article type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserverhttps://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserver/14864/1/Greilich%20-%202013%20-%20FNTDs%20as%20a%20Tool%20for%20Ion-Beam%20Therapy%20Research%20%28Rad.%20Meas.%29%20%5Bpreprint%5D.pdf identifier: DOI: identifier: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-148646 identifier: Greilich, Steffen ; Osinga, Julia-Maria ; Niklas, Martin ; Lauer, Florian ; Klimpki, Grischa ; Bestvater, Felix ; Bartz, Jerry ; Akselrod, Mark ; Jäkel, Oliver (2013) Fluorescent nuclear track detectors as a tool for ion-beam therapy research.
