Radiation Treatment Planning Model Licensed
The research group "Biological Modelling" at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research, headed by Michael Scholz, has developed a model for calculating the optimal ion beam dose for radiation treatment of tumours. The GSI now has licensed the so-called Local Effect Model (LEM) to RaySearch Laboratories in Stockholm for further marketing. Ion beam treatment requires precise planning in order to kill as many cancer cells as possible while at the same time keeping healthy tissue intact. The newly developed model can calculate the optimal treatment dose for all kinds of ion beams and was already successfully used in carbon ion therapy at the GSI accelerator facility.
