IMRT is a treatment technique with multiple fields, where each field is designed to deliver a non-uniform dose distribution.The desired (uniform) dose distribution in the target volume is obtained after delivery of all treatment fields.
Flexible field definition, sharper dose gradients
Higher dose conformity
Improved sparing of healthy tissue

Treatment planning for IMPT: KonRad TPS (DKFZ)
- Bragg peaks of pencil beams are distributed throughout the planning volume
- Pencil beam weights are optimized for several beam directions simultaneously, using inverse planning techniques
- Output of optimization: beam weight maps for diff energies

Depth scanning at GSI (270 MeV C-ions)
U.Weber et al. Phys.Med.Biol. 45 (2000) 3627-3641
• Weaknesses of lateral scanning: – complicated scanning
pattern – need to interrupt the beam
• Depth scanning: – Target volume is divided
into cylinders spaced at ~0.7 FWHM (or 4-5 mm)
– Cylinders are filled with SOBP (or arbitrarily shaped distribution)

Scanning directions • Fast scanning in depth (2 sec/cylinder)• Slower lateral scanning (sweeper magnet)• Yet slower azimuthal scanning (gantry rotation)

• Complex anatomies/geometries (e.g., head & neck) with multiple critical structures
• Cases where Tx can be simplified, made faster
• Cases where integral dose is limiting (e.g., pediatric tumors)
• Cases where it may be possible to reduce side-effects (improve patient’s quality of life)

IMPT vs. photon IMRT • More tumor-conformal dose: reduction in dose to healthy
organs (including skin) (?) increased tumor control, reduced complications (acute and late).
Proton integral dose smaller (factor 1.5-3)• Proton dose conformality much better at low and medium
doses, but usually equivalent to IMRT in high-dose range• Treatment delivered with fewer fields (2-3 vs. 5-7);
Patient-specific devices/QA are not strictly required more treatments at lower cost
• Precision of delivery can be increased with robust planning methods, in-vivo range/dose verification
