“…The two strategies should not be completely isolated from each other, and possible combined applications of these strategies might be beneficial to high magnetic field shielding. Collaborative applications of active and passive shielding techniques have been described in a beneficial investigation . Even so, it is still possible for magnetic fields between a nozzle and patient skin to effect proton transport processes more or less.…”

Modulation of lateral positions of Bragg peaks via magnetic fields inside cancer patients: Toward magnetic field modulated proton therapy

et al. 2017

The BP positions can be intentionally modulated to produce uniform tumor doses under the magnetic fields inside cancer patients. In some special cases, the vital organs surrounding the tumor can almost be exempted from proton irradiations without sacrificing tumor dose coverage through MMPT. For the tumors inside parallel organs, the parallel organ volume receiving proton irradiations was largely reduced through MMPT. The results of this study can serve as beneficial implications for future proton therapy studies with reduced vital organ damage and complications.
