Optimization of In-Beam Positron Emission Tomography for Monitoring Heavy Ion Tumor Therapy

In-beam positron emission tomography (in-beam PET) is currently the only method for an in-situ monitoring of highly tumor-conformed charged hadron therapy. In such therapy, the clinical effect of deviations from treatment planning is highly minimized by implementing safety margins around the tumor a...
