Prompt gamma ray in proton therapy is the product of a nuclear reaction between a proton
and a target. The characteristic energies and intensities of prompt gamma lines can be used …

Purpose. Present and validate an analytical model (AM) to calculate efficiency and spatial
resolution of multi-parallel slit (MPS) and knife-edge slit (KES) cameras in the context of …

In theory, the sharp dose falloff at the distal end of a proton beam allows for high conformal
dose to the target. However, conformity has not been fully achieved in practice, primarily due …

Purpose We investigated the design of a prompt gamma camera for real‐time dose delivery
verification and the partial mitigation of range uncertainties. Methods A slit slat (SS) camera …

A new mechanical collimated system capable of 2-dimensional (2D) prompt gamma-ray
imaging is proposed for proton beam range verification and dose monitoring. To achieve …

To make the most of the physical and biological potentials of Particle Therapy (PT), it would
be extremely desirable to verify dose deposition in vivo. In this chapter, we describe and …

Purpose: Gamma cameras are one of the most promising technologies for in-vivo range
monitoring in proton therapy. Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is a common calculation-based …

Objectives▶ Development an analytical model (AM) of MPS and KES collimations⇒ main
intrinsic features of each collimator▶ Verification of the AM by means of Monte Carlo (MC) …

Thallium-Bromide is a semiconductor material which is well suited for photon detection.
Composed of high atomic number elements and a high mass density of 7.56 g/cm3, TlBr has …

In 1895, the discovery of X-rays and by Röntgen resulted in the use of ionizing radiation in
medical and other applications. Besides their use in diagnostic imaging, high-energy …
