New laser technology for future radiation therapy Currently, new treatment facilities for radiation therapy with ions are built all over the world. These particles destroy cancer cells and have a better ability to spare the surrounding healthy tissue than other techniques. A new technology for this kind of treatment is developed by researchers of the OncoRay center in Dresden and of the research center FZD: in their concept the ion beams are accelerated by a compactlaser, and not in ‘normal’ accelerators. They published their first results of cell irradiations using ions in the “New Journal of Physics“. >>mehr<< |
