Frida meeting at CREF 2-3 December 2024

FLASH Radiotherapy, especially with charged particles, has emerged as a promising new approach in radiation therapy, offering the potential to reduce side effects while maintaining tumor control. However, significant research is still needed to translate this concept into clinical practice. The FRIDA Project (Flash Radiotherapy with hIgh Dose-rate particle beAms) is a pioneering initiative aimed […]

MULTIPASS – MULTIPle trAcker for Secondary particleS monitoring

MULTIPASS – MULTIPle trAcker for Secondary particleS monitoring Codice Progetto: P2022FZAC3 Coordinatore: INFN Milano Referente CREF: Michela Marafini This project aims to develop a new technology for detecting secondary radiation of different types (prompt photons, protons, and neutrons) in the framework of particle therapy. This multipurpose tracker is a compact detector made of plastic scintillating […]

Radio and Hadrontherapy

la ricerca Head of research Michela Marafini Scientific content and goals Conventional radiotherapy, currently widespread, could change substantially: it has been demonstrated that the administration of a certain dose in a very short period of time increases the effectiveness of the treatment, reducing damage to healthy tissues and limiting the onset of side effects such […]
