Verbesserung der Effektivität der radiologischen Tumortherapie durch schwere Teilchen

  • Chapter
Strahlengefahrdung und Strahlenschutz / Radiation Exposure and Radiation Protection

Part of the book series: Handbuch der Medizinischen Radiologie / Encyclopedia of Medical Radiology ((HDBRADIOL,volume 20))

Zusammenfassung

Schwere Teilchen, die experimentell oder klinisch in der Tumortherapie verwendet werden, sind Neutronen, Ionen und Pionen (π −-Mesonen). Ionen und Pionen weisen gegenüber dünn ionisierenden Strahlenarten eine günstigere räumliche Dosisverteilung auf, d. h. eine bessere Dosiskonzentration im Zielvolumen und damit eine geringere Integraldosis. Diesen Vorzug bieten Neutronen nicht. Wichtiger ist aber im Vergleich zu dünn ionisierenden Strahlenarten der Unterschied im linearen Energieübertragungsvermögen (LET).
