Activities | - To initiate, review and coordinate activities on the innovative design and development of compact proton therapy systems, including gantry-less systems in combination with advanced patient positioning and immobilization, efficient on-board imaging, highly automated treatment planning and protocols including adaptive planning, and compact cost-effective acceleration technology.
- Formation of a task group to investigate technologies for proton treatment with patients in positions other than supine to facilitate gantry-less treatment. For example, patient (re-)positioning and immobilization, gravitational effects on blood flow.
- Formation of task groups to produce guidelines on the efficient clinical use of compact proton therapy systems without compromising the precision afforded by proton therapy.
- Formation of a task group to review the health-economic implications of improved access to proton therapy, such as cost-utility analyses.
