Charged particle therapy has been largely driven and influenced by nuclear physics. The
increase in energy deposition density along the ion path in the body allows reducing the …

Protons are an interesting modality for radiotherapy because of their well defined range and
favourable depth dose characteristics. On the other hand, these same characteristics lead to …

Treatments delivered by proton therapy are affected by uncertainties on the range of the
beam within the patient, requiring medical physicists to add safety margins on the …

We present an experimental study of a novel method to verify the range of proton therapy
beams. Differential cross sections were measured for 15 prompt gamma-ray lines from …

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 …

Proton and ion beams open up new vistas for the curative treatment of tumors, but adequate
technologies for monitoring the compliance of dose delivery with treatment plans in real time …

In this work, we present experimental results of a prompt gamma camera for real-time proton
beam range verification. The detection system features a pixelated Cerium doped lutetium …

The purpose of this work was to compare the clinical adaptation of prompt gamma (PG)
imaging and positron emission tomography (PET) as independent tools for non-invasive …

In this work, we present experimental results of a novel prompt gamma-ray detector for
proton beam range verification. The detection system features an actively shielded cerium …

In this paper we report on Monte Carlo simulations to investigate real-time monitoring of the
track depth profile in particle therapy by measuring prompt gamma ray emissions: a high …
