Nuclear emulsions were used to provide information on (1) the pion star distribution for a therapy beam; (2) star production as a function of pion energy and residual range in nuclear emulsion; (3) the distribution of nuclear framgent ranges in emulsion; and (4) the neutron energy spectrum and fluence produced by negative pion capture in tissue, during treatment of a patient. This last item is important for determining the whole-body dose delivered to a patient undergoing pion radiotherapy.
(1) 治疗束的π介子星分布;(2) 核乳胶中星产生作为π介子能量和剩余射程的函数;(3) 乳胶中核碎片射程的分布;以及(4) 在治疗患者期间,组织中负π介子俘获产生的中子能谱和注量。最后一项对于确定接受π介子放射治疗的患者所接受的全身剂量很重要。
