Abstract (original)
About the Image: I would like to share this image of Mount Arafune with the community of radiation oncologists. Characterized by a flat ridge and a sharp fall at its distal end, the mountain’s shape resembles the spread-out Bragg peak. The spread-out Bragg peak is the effect of several stacked Bragg curves,1 and it is one of the most characteristic points of particle therapy. Incidentally, Mount Arafune is located in the Gunma Prefecture, Japan, which houses its own particle therapy institute and the Gunma University Heavy Ion Medical Center.
