Spectacular - A Modular DAQ System for Microdosimetry
Matthias Knopf, Simon Waid, Daniel Radmanovac +8
Particle therapy using light ions like protons, helium ions or carbon ions enables precise tumor targeting with enhanced biological effectiveness while minimizing damage to healthy…
A frontend ASIC for Microdosimetry
Simon Waid, Matthias Knopf, Giulio Magrin +6
Recent clinical evidence shows a correlation between linear energy transfer (LET) and tumor control in carbon ion radiotherapy. This prompts the direct inclusion of LET into the tr…
Measurements of the micro-spill structure of medical cyclotron and synchrotron beams and its impact on pulse pileup
Matthias Knopf, Simon Waid, Stefan Gundacker +10
Detector characterization and instrumentation testing are often performed at cyclotron and synchrotron facilities, many of which were originally developed for medical applications…
Rethinking Timing Residuals: Advancing PET Detectors with Explicit TOF Corrections
Stephan Naunheim, Luis Lopes de Paiva, Vanessa Nadig +4
PET is a functional imaging method that visualizes metabolic processes. TOF information can be derived from coincident detector signals and incorporated into image reconstruction t…
