A Monte Carlo Determination of Dose and Range Uncertainties for Preclinical Studies with a Proton Beam.Proton therapy (PRT) is an irradiation technique that aims at limiting normal tissue damage while maintaining the tumor response.  This paper summarizes and quantifies the impact of uncertainty on proton range, absorbed dose, and dose homogeneity in a preclinical context of cell or small animal irradiation on the Bragg curve, using Monte Carlo simulations.  Another conclusion of this study is that Monte Carlo simulations can be used to help build preclinical lines in other setups.

To study its specificities, the ARRONAX cyclotron is currently developing a preclinical structure compatible with biological experiments.
