Radial distribution of dose within heavy charged particle tracks. Models and experimental verification using LiF:Mg,Cu,P TL detectors
W. Gieszczyk, P. Bilski, P. Olko +1
A new method of experimental verification of radial dose distribution models using solid state thermoluminescent (TL) detectors LiF:Mg,Cu,P has been recently proposed. In this work…
Mapping the Future of Particle Radiobiology in Europe: The INSPIRE Project
N. T. Henthorn, O. Sokol, M. Durante +27
Particle therapy is a growing cancer treatment modality worldwide. However, there still remains a number of unanswered questions considering differences in the biological response…
Proton radiographs using position-sensitive silicon detectors and high-resolution scintillators
J. A. Briz, A. N. Nerio, C. Ballesteros +13
Proton therapy is a cancer treatment technique currently in growth worldwide. It offers advantages with respect to conventional X-ray and -ray radiotherapy, in particular, a be…
Analysis of time-profiles with in-beam PET monitoring in charged particle therapy
A. C. Kraan, S. Muraro, G. Battistoni +14
Background: Treatment verification with PET imaging in charged particle therapy is conventionally done by comparing measurements of spatial distributions with Monte Carlo (MC) pred…
Characterization of a novel proton-CT scanner based on Silicon and LaBr(Ce) detectors
E. Nácher, J. A. Briz, A. N. Nerio +10
Treatment planning systems at proton-therapy centres generally use X-ray computed tomography (CT) as primary imaging technique to infer the proton treatment doses to tumour and hea…
Detection of proton tracks with LiF Fluorescent Nuclear Track Detectors
P. Bilski, B. Marczewska, M. Sankowska +4
Fluorescent nuclear track detectors based on LiF crystals were successfully applied for detection of proton induced tracks. Irradiations were performed with protons with energy ran…
