The silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) is an established device of choice for a variety of
applications, eg in time of flight positron emission tomography (TOF-PET), lifetime …

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 …

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 …

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 …

A Compton camera is being developed for the purpose of ion-range monitoring during
hadrontherapy via the detection of prompt-gamma rays. The system consists of a scintillating …

Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are becoming the reference photodetectors in many fields.
In medicine they are slowly replacing photomultiplier tubes and avalanche photodiodes in …

We recently proposed a new approach for the real-time monitoring of particle therapy
treatments with the goal of achieving high sensitivities on the particle range measurement …

A Compton camera-based detector system for photon detection from nuclear reactions
induced by proton (or heavier ion) beams is under development at LMU Munich, targeting …

The only method for in vivo dose delivery verification in proton beam radiotherapy in clinical
use today is positron emission tomography (PET) of the positron emitters produced in the …
