Exploitation of the full potential offered by ion beams in clinical practice is still hampered by
several sources of treatment uncertainties, particularly related to the limitations of our ability …

The history of Compton cameras began with the detection of radiation sources originally for
applications in astronomy. A Compton camera is a promising γ-ray detector that operates in …

We present a full-scale clinical prototype system for in vivo range verification of proton pencil-
beams using the prompt gamma-ray spectroscopy method. The detection system consists of …

Compton imaging exploits inelastic scattering, known as Compton scattering, using a
Compton camera consisting of a scatterer detector in the front layer and an absorber …

In proton therapy, patients benefit from the precise deposition of the dose in the tumor
volume due to the interaction of charged particles with matter. Currently, the determination of …

Compton imaging or Compton camera imaging has been studied well, but its advantages in
nuclear medicine and molecular imaging have not been demonstrated yet. Therefore, the …

In-vivo range verification has been a hot topic in particle therapy for about two decades. In
spite of vast efforts made by research groups all over the world, clinical devices and …

The Compton camera can simultaneously acquire images of multiple isotopes injected in a
body; therefore, it has the potential to introduce a new subfield in the field of biomedical …

Owing to the favorable physical and biological properties of swift ions in matter, their
application to radiation therapy for highly selective cancer treatment is rapidly spreading …

We studied the application of a deep, fully connected Neural Network (NN) to process
prompt gamma (PG) data measured by a Compton camera (CC) during the delivery of …
