Abstract

Conclusion: The preparation of the medical commissioning process of a new ion beam therapy facility has to be anticipated long before the first beam is available at the facility. Due to the complexity of the ion beam therapy commissioning process, most of the centers are employing independent Monte Carlo calculations, considered as the gold standard in medical physics. The Monte Carlo method has been successfully used at MedAustron in the evaluation of existing ripple filter designs. Further studies including a complete model of the MedAustron nozzle are intended, in order to continue the preparation of the procedures for medical commissioning of the facility and to speed up the execution of the commissioning process, by significantly reducing the amount of required beam time.
