GATE-RTion is a validated version of GATE for clinical use in the field of light ion beam therapy. This paper describes the GATE-RTion project and illustrates its potential through clinical applications developed in three European centers delivering scanned proton and carbon ion treatments.
GATE-RTion is a collaborative framework provided by the OpenGATE collaboration. It contains a validated GATE release based on a specific Geant4 version, a set of tools to integrate GATE into a clinical environment and a network for clinical users.
Three applications are presented: Proton radiography at the Centre Antoine Lacassagne (Nice, France); Independent dose calculation for proton therapy at the Christie NHS Foundation Trust (Manchester, UK); Independent dose calculation for protons and carbon ions at the MedAustron Ion Therapy center (Wiener Neustadt, Austria).
GATE-RTion builds the bridge between researchers and clinical users from the OpenGATE collaboration in the field of Light Ion Beam Therapy. The applications presented in three European facilities using three completely different machines (three different vendors, cyclotron- and synchrotron-based systems, protons, and carbon ions) demonstrate the relevance and versatility of this project.
GATE-RTion是GATE的一个经过验证的版本，用于轻离子束治疗领域的临床应用。本文介绍了GATE-RTion项目，并通过在三个提供扫描质子和碳离子治疗的欧洲中心开发的临床应用展示了其潜力。
GATE-RTion是由OpenGATE合作组织提供的一个协作框架。它包含基于特定Geant4版本的经过验证的GATE版本、一组将GATE集成到临床环境中的工具以及一个面向临床用户的网络。
介绍了三个应用：法国尼斯安托万·拉卡萨涅中心的质子射线照相；英国曼彻斯特克里斯蒂国民保健服务基金会信托医院的质子治疗独立剂量计算；奥地利维也纳新城MedAustron离子治疗中心的质子和碳离子独立剂量计算。
GATE-RTion在轻离子束治疗领域搭建了OpenGATE合作组织的研究人员与临床用户之间的桥梁。在三个欧洲设施中使用三种完全不同的机器（三个不同供应商、基于回旋加速器和同步加速器的系统、质子和碳离子）展示的应用证明了该项目的相关性和通用性。
