Background and purpose Many 4D particle therapy research concepts have been recently
translated into clinics, however, remaining substantial differences depend on the indication …

Multi-energy computed tomography (CT) involves acquisition of two or more CT
measurements with distinct energy spectra. Using the differential attenuation of tissues and …

Objective. The study aimed to generate synthetic contrast-enhanced Dual-energy CT (CE-
DECT) images from non-contrast single-energy CT (SECT) scans, addressing the limitations …

Background Carbon ion beams are well accepted as densely ionizing radiation with a high
linear energy transfer (LET). However, the current clinical practice does not fully exploit the …

Purpose Spot-scanning hadron arc radiation therapy (SHArc) is a novel delivery technique
for ion beams with potentially improved dose conformity and dose-averaged linear energy …

2 tube voltage for each patient and body region examined. The implementation of this
feature is a first step towards a more patient-centred CT protocol with multiple image …

Objective To conduct a bibliometric analysis of the prospects and obstacles associated with
dual-and multi-energy CT in thoracic disease, emphasizing its current standing, advantages …

Radiotherapy with protons or light ions can offer accurate and precise treatment delivery.
Accurate knowledge of the stopping power ratio (SPR) distribution of the tissues in the …

Objective. Contrast agents in computed tomography (CT) scans can compromise the
accuracy of dose calculations in radiation therapy planning, especially for particle therapy …

Abstract The feasibility of Positron Annihilation Interaction-Transmission Imaging (PAITI), a
novel 2D imaging modality based on positron annihilation photons, has been demonstrated …
