Application of proton radiation to medical problems. Quarterly progress report, 1 Jan--31 Mar 1974

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7356522
Three patients received radiotherapy using the cyclotron proton beam, thereby demonstrating 'proof of concept' for fractionated radiotherapy. Treatment planning, positioning of patients, and actual treatment of patients are described. Other efforts include work on beam broadening, broad beam collination, range modulation, in-phantom dose measurements, and tissue density measurements. (GRA)
