Toward High-Resolution Detection of Target Fragmentation: TEA-Sensitized NIT for Proton Therapy Applications
V. Boccia, T. Asada, A. Alexandrov +96
Nano Imaging Trackers (NIT) are fine-grained nuclear emulsions capable of tracking charged particles with sub-micrometric spatial resolution. The DAMON (Direct Measurement of Targe…
Measurement of 80-200 MeV/n O nuclear cross-section on Carbon and Polyethylene targets with the nuclear emulsion detector of the FOOT experiment
FOOT Collaboration, Giuliana Galati, Vincenzo Boccia +93
Accurate knowledge of nuclear fragmentation cross-sections is essential for optimizing charged particle therapy. In this study, conducted within the framework of the FOOT (Fragment…
Use of bremsstrahlung radiation to identify hidden weak beta- sources: feasibility and possible use in radio-guided surgery
D. Carlotti, F. Collamatii, R. Faccinii +11
The recent interest in beta- radionuclides for radio-guided surgery derives from the feature of the beta radiation to release energy in few millimeters of tissue. Such feature can…
Feasibility of the Radio-Guided Surgery with a Variety of Radio-Nuclides of Interest to Nuclear Medicine
Carlo Mancini-Terracciano, Raffaella Donnarumma, Gaia Bencivenga +16
The based radio-guided surgery overcomes the corresponding technique in case the background from healthy tissues is relevant. It can be used only in case a radio-tracer m…
First Ex-Vivo Validation of a Radioguided Surgery Technique with beta- Radiation
E. Solfaroli Camillocci, M. Schiariti, V. Bocci +21
Purpose: A radio-guided surgery technique with beta- -emitting radio-tracers was suggested to overcome the effect of the large penetration of gamma radiation. The feasibility studi…
Secondary radiation measurements for particle therapy applications: nuclear fragmentation produced by He ion beams in a PMMA target
M. Marafini, R. Paramatti, D. Pinci +19
Nowadays there is a growing interest in Particle Therapy treatments exploiting light ion beams against tumors due to their enhanced Relative Biological Effectiveness and high space…
Secondary radiation measurements for particle therapy applications: Charged secondaries produced by 4He and 12C ion beams in a PMMA target at large angle
A. Rucinski, E. De Lucia, G. Battistoni +18
Measurements performed with the purpose of characterizing the charged secondary radiation for dose release monitoring in particle therapy are reported. Charged secondary yields, en…
Design of a new tracking device for on-line dose monitor in ion therapy
Giacomo Traini, Giuseppe Battistoni, Angela Bollella +22
Charged Particle Therapy is a technique for cancer treatment that exploits hadron beams, mostly protons and carbons. A critical issue is the monitoring of the dose released by the…
Secondary radiation measurements for particle therapy applications: prompt photons produced by He, C and O ion beams in a PMMA target
Ilaria Mattei, Francesco Collamati, Erika De Lucia +18
Charged particle beams are used in Particle Therapy (PT) to treat oncological patients due to their selective dose deposition in tissues and to their high biological effect in kill…
