Compton imaging exploits inelastic scattering, known as Compton scattering, using a
Compton camera consisting of a scatterer detector in the front layer and an absorber …

It is an on-going challenge to verify the proton range in situ during proton therapy. Since the
protons stop in target tissue, measurement of gamma-rays emitted either promptly from …

Compton cameras have been developed for almost fifty years in various fields (astronomy,
medical imaging, safety and industrial inspections, etc.), employing different types of …

Hadrontherapy is an innovative radiation therapy modality for which one of the main key
advantages is the target conformality allowed by the physical properties of ion species …

In this paper, we study the feasibility of using the stochastic origin ensemble (SOE) algorithm
for reconstructing images of secondary gammas emitted during proton radiotherapy from …

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 …

A compact radiation imaging system capable of detecting, localizing, and characterizing
special nuclear material (eg highly-enriched uranium, plutonium…) would be useful for …

In this study, we performed on-beam monitoring of 511 keV annihilation gamma emissions
using a Compton camera. Beam monitoring experiments were conducted using carbon ion …
