"Proton therapy has played an important role in the treatment of cancer with radiation\r\ntherapy for more than 60 years. Active spot scanning to deliver highly conformal dose\r\nto the tumor has been developed. However, the availability of proton therapy to the\r\npatients is still limited, partly, due to the high costs and sizes of large proton therapy\r\ncenters. Therefore, a novel compact proton single room facility based on a linear accelerator\r\nmounted on a gantry has been proposed, named TULIP (TUrning LInac for\r\nProton therapy). This accelerator allows for active energy variation on a milliseconds\r\ntime scale. This work aims to assess the possibilities of dose delivery with TULIP to exploit\r\nits beneficial features with respect to dose delivery. We developed a software tool,\r\nsimulating the dose delivery to the tumor. By means of this software tool, we assessed\r\ndifferent delivery methods and found 3D spot scanning to be superior to rotational dose\r\ndelivery with regard to dose and irradiation time. In a second part, we expanded the\r\ninvestigations to dose delivery to moving targets. Due to fast energy variation, we found\r\nTULIP to be preferably suitable for rescanning, confirmed by irradiation times of only a\r\nfew minutes.\r\n"^^ . "2014" . . . . . . . "Kim Melanie"^^ .
