A Prototype Scintillator Real-Time Beam Monitor for Ultra-high Dose Rate Radiotherapy
Daniel S. Levin, Peter S. Friedman, Claudio Ferretti +5
FLASH Radiotherapy (RT) is a potentially new cancer radiotherapy technique where an entire therapeutic dose is delivered in about 0.1 s and at ~1000 times higher dose rate than in…
Repair kinetics of DSB-foci induced by proton and helium ion microbeams of different energies
Ana Belchior, João F. Canhoto, Ulrich Giesen +3
In this work, the induction and repair of radiation-induced 53BP1 foci were studied in human umbilical vein endothelial cells irradiated at the PTB microbeam with protons and α-par…
A stopping criterion for iterative proton CT image reconstruction based on correlated noise properties
Ethan A. DeJongh, Alexander A. Pryanichnikov, Don F. DeJongh +1
Background: Whereas filtered back projection algorithms for voxel-based CT image reconstruction have noise properties defined by the filter, iterative algorithms must stop at some…
Transformative Technology for FLASH Radiation Therapy: A Snowmass 2021 White Paper
Salime Boucher, Eric Esarey, Cameron Geddes +16
Conventional cancer therapies include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and, more recently, immunotherapy. These modalities are often combined to improve the therapeutic in…
A proton simulator for testing implementations of proton CT reconstruction algorithms on GPGPU clusters
Micah Witt, Blake Schultze, Reinhard Schulte +2
Proton computed tomography (pCT) is an image modality that will improve treatment planning for patients receiving proton radiation therapy compared with the current treatment techn…
Results from a Prototype Proton-CT Head Scanner
R. P. Johnson, V. A. Bashkirov, G. Coutrakon +8
We are exploring low-dose proton radiography and computed tomography (pCT) as techniques to improve the accuracy of proton treatment planning and to provide artifact-free images fo…
