Hadron therapy for, eg, cancer treatment requires an accurate dose deposition (total amount
and location). As a consequence, monitoring is crucial for the success of the treatment …

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is at present one of the major
techniques for non-invasive diagnostics in nuclear medicine. The clinical routine is mostly …

Due to advances in manufacturing large and highly segmented HPGe detectors along with
the availability of fast and high-precision digital electronics, it is now possible to build …

In hadrontherapy in order to fully take advantage of the assets of the ion irradiation, the
position of the Bragg peak has to be monitored accurately. Here, we investigate a monitoring …

In radionuclide treatment, tumor cells are primarily destroyed by charged particles emitted by
the compound while associated higher energy photons are used to image the tumor in order …

Particle therapy is an advanced cancer therapy that uses a feature known as the Bragg
peak, in which particle beams suddenly lose their energy near the end of their range. The …

We propose a new gamma-ray imaging detector based on a gaseous time projection
chamber (TPC). The most important feature of this detector is the ability of measuring the …

We report on the development of high-sensitivity and compact Compton imaging systems
built of large and position-sensitive Si (Li) and HPGe detectors. The primary goal of this effort …

Compton-based prompt gamma (PG) imaging has been proposed for in vivo range
verification in proton therapy. However, several factors degrade the image quality of PG …

Compton cameras promise to improve the characteristics of nuclear medicine imaging,
wherein mechanical collimation is replaced with electronic collimation. This leads to huge …
