Description
In this historic overview of the role of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in the development of accelerator technology, the advantages of charged particle radiotherapy are emphasized. These include the precise delivery of radiation dose to the tumor with a concomitantly low dose to surrounding tissues; the depth dose distributions and the reduction of the oxygen effect by heavy ions
