Secondary radiation emission induced by nuclear reactions is correlated to the path of ions
in matter. Therefore, such penetrating radiation can be used for in vivo control of …

Exploitation of the full potential offered by ion beams in clinical practice is still hampered by
several sources of treatment uncertainties, particularly related to the limitations of our ability …

Hadron therapy allows for highly conformal dose distributions and better sparing of organs-
at-risk, thanks to the characteristic dose deposition as function of depth. However, the quality …

We tested the ability of a single Compton camera (CC) to produce 3-dimensional (3D)
images of prompt gammas (PGs) emitted during the irradiation of a tissue-equivalent plastic …

Objective. In this study we introduce spatiotemporal emission reconstruction prompt gamma
timing (SER-PGT), a new method to directly reconstruct the prompt photon emission in the …

In proton therapy, patients benefit from the precise deposition of the dose in the tumor
volume due to the interaction of charged particles with matter. Currently, the determination of …

In-vivo range verification has been a hot topic in particle therapy for about two decades. In
spite of vast efforts made by research groups all over the world, clinical devices and …

Compton imaging or Compton camera imaging has been studied well, but its advantages in
nuclear medicine and molecular imaging have not been demonstrated yet. Therefore, the …

Abstract Tb-doped Mg2SiO4 single crystals were grown by floating zone method, and
photoluminescence (PL), scintillation, and thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) …

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 …
