Facility and Patient Statistics:
I am still collecting information about all operating and proposed
facilities, regarding patient statistics, machine scheduling, and
treatment characteristics. Please
send me up-to-date information.
TREATMENT PLANNING
SYSTEMS FOR PROTON THERAPY
July 2000
The following Table was presented in October 1999 by Skip Rosenthal,
MGH at the Workshop on Treatment Planning Systems, PTCOG XXXI. Information
was provided by: S. Rosenthal, A. Mazal, M. Collier, T. Lomax, S.
Nill, and D. Miller. This Table is a new feature of Particles, and
will be updated each issue. Please send corrections/additions
to Janet Sisterson.
