Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Oncology
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Helium ion beam therapy, a particle therapy studied since the 1950s, has seen limited clinical progress compared to proton and carbon ion therapies.
  • Helium ions offer superior physical properties to protons (lower scattering, higher LET) and similar characteristics to other heavy ions used in therapy.
  • Challenges include limited accessibility and a need for better understanding of its physical, biological, and clinical efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the physical properties of helium ion beams for potential dental cancer treatment applications.
  • To investigate the feasibility of using helium ion therapy for mandibular tumors.
  • To compare phantom dosimetry using tissue and biomaterials for helium ion beam interactions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized MC TRIM algorithms to analyze ionization, recoil, and lateral scattering.
  • Employed mandible plate phantoms constructed from tissue and biomaterials.
  • Calculated Bragg peak positions and lateral scattering differences between phantom types.

Main Results:

  • Observed an average difference of 1.9% in Bragg peak positions between the two phantom types.
  • Measured an average lateral scattering difference of 0.211 mm.
  • Demonstrated helium ions' sharper lateral penumbra and lack of dose degradation seen with heavier ions.

Conclusions:

  • The 4He ion beam is a viable option for treating mandibular tumors.
  • Biomaterial mandible plate phantoms are suitable for experimental research in helium ion therapy.
  • Further experimental research is recommended to advance helium ion therapy for dental applications.
