Abstract
The influence of the physical characteristics and biological effectiveness of pion and other charged heavy particle beams on treatment techniques is reviewed. Of major importance are the expected differences in the biological effects of variable star dose to total dose ratios (star fractions) with pion beams and with high LET to low LET dose ratios with other charged particles. Special consideration is given to the multiport irradiation configuration of the Stanford Medical Pion Generator.
