Strahlenther Onkol. 1999 Jun:175 Suppl 2:15-7. doi: 10.1007/BF03038878.

Abstract

A new treatment planning program was developed for the heavy-ion therapy facility at GSI. In addition, a concise quality standard for treatment planning has been set up. It covers acceptance and constancy checks of all critical aspects in treatment planning. Dose verification measurements done during the commissioning phase show an overall good agreement with the treatment planning calculations.
