On the Possibility to Use the Charge Imbalance in Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy: A New Online, In Vivo, Noninvasive Dose Monitoring System

This paper describes a new real-time, in vivo, noninvasive, biasless detector system acting as a beam monitoring and relative dose measurement system. The detector is based on the idea that when a beam current is injected into the body of a patient undergoing a charged particle therapy, the current...
