Nuclear methods for real-time range verification in proton therapy based on prompt gamma-ray imaging

Nuclear methods for real-time range verification in proton therapy based on prompt gamma-ray imaging

Accelerated protons are excellent candidates for treating several types of tumours. Such charged particles stop at a defined depth, where their ionisation density is maximum. As the dose deposit beyond this distal edge is very low, proton therapy minimises the damage to normal tissue compared to pho...
