Hybrid Compton-PET Imaging for ion-range verification:A Preclinical Study for Proton-, Helium-, and Carbon-Therapy at HIT
Javier Balibrea-Correa, Jorge Lerendegui-Marco, Ion Ladarescu +8
Enhanced-accuracy ion-range verification in real time shall enable a significant step forward in the use of therapeutic ion beams. Positron-emission tomography (PET) and prompt-gam…
First experimental test of a coded-mask gamma camera for proton therapy monitoring
Magdalena KoÅodziej, Stephan Brons, MikoÅaj Dubiel +15
Objective. The objective of the presented study was to evaluate the feasibility of a coded-mask (CM) gamma camera for real-time range verification in proton therapy, addressing the…
Does FLASH deplete Oxygen? Experimental Evaluation for Photons, Protons and Carbon Ions
Jeannette Jansen, Jan Knoll, Elke Beyreuther +6
Purpose: To investigate experimentally, if FLASH irradiation depletes oxygen within water for different radiation types such as photons, protons and carbon ions. Methods: This stud…
Absorbed Dose in Ion Beams: Comparison of Ionisation and Fluence-based Measurements
Julia-Maria Osinga, Stephan Brons, James A. Bartz +3
A direct comparison measurement of fluorescent nuclear track detectors (FNTDs) and a thimble ionisation chamber is presented. Irradiations were performed using monoenergetic proton…
Clinical beam test of inter- and intra-fraction relative range monitoring in carbon ion radiotherapy
Devin Hymers, Sebastian Schroeder, Olga Bertini +5
Interaction Vertex Imaging (IVI) is used for range monitoring (RM) in carbon ion radiotherapy. The purpose of RM is to measure the Bragg peak (BP) position for each contributing be…
A Beam Monitor for Ion Beam Therapy based on HV-CMOS Pixel Detectors
Matthias Balzer, Alexander Dierlamm, Felix Ehrler +13
Particle therapy is a well established clinical treatment of tumors. More than one hundred particle therapy centers are in operation world wide. The advantage of using hadrons like…
