Abstract
The stereotactic proton therapy facility at the SC-1000 synchrocyclotron, Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute, is described. The "shoot-through" irradiation method is applied: intracranial targets are exposed to a 1000-MeV horizontal proton beam in combination with a rotational irradiation technique. Particular attention is paid to the modernization of the facility and the bringing it to modern high-tech medical care standards. The design project of a proton therapy table is described. The features of the developed software for control of the facility and track the parameters of the proton beam, which allows precise positioning, as well as dynamic movement of components for the implementation of complex irradiation plans are considered. It has been found that a unique irradiation technique requires the development of an unparalleled threedimensional treatment planning system to simulate the irradiation conditions, calculation of dose distributions, and selection of the optimal irradiation plan taking into account dose-constraints in organs of risk. It is also required to develop A verification system should also be developed to ensure the quality assurance of proton stereotactic therapy.
