The electromagnetic spectrum contains different frequency bands useful for medical imaging
and therapy. Short wavelengths (ionizing radiation) are commonly used for radiological and …

The main goals of this review is to provide an up-to-date account of the different uses of
Cerenkov radiation (CR) and radioluminescence imaging for pre-clinical small animal …

Recent studies have proposed that light emitted by the Cherenkov effect may be used for a
number of radiation therapy dosimetry applications. There is a correlation between the …

Cherenkov radiation has recently emerged as an interesting phenomenon for a number of
applications in the biomedical sciences. Its unique properties, including broadband …

Purpose: Proton therapy has the ability to selectively deliver a dose to the target tumor, so
the dose distribution should be accurately measured by a precise and efficient method. The …

Purpose: The authors previously reported successful luminescence imaging of water during
proton irradiation and its application to range estimation. However, since the feasibility of …

Purpose: Čerenkov radiation emission occurs in all tissue, when charged particles (either
primary or secondary) travel at velocity above the threshold for the Čerenkov effect (about …

There is increasing interest in using Cerenkov emissions for quality assurance and in vivo
dosimetry in photon and electron therapy. Here, we investigate the production of Cerenkov …

Čerenkov radiation is a fascinating optical signal, which has been exploited for unique
diagnostic biological sensing and imaging, with significantly expanded use just in the last …

Since its discovery during the 1930s the Čerenkov effect (light emission from charged
particles traveling faster than the local speed of light in a dielectric medium) has been …
