Oral

Being a promising candidate for proton treatment verification, Prompt Gamma-ray Timing (PGT) currently undergoes translation into clinical application. Presently, PGT is being extensively investigated under preclinical conditions. For that, a realistic dosimetric head phantom is irradiated with clinically relevant treatment plans. Global and local range deviations are studied with eight 2-inch...

The high sensitivity of proton therapy to anatomical deviations implies improved treatment outcomes are achievable with real-time range monitoring. To this end, the NOVO project was initiated with the goal of developing a multi-particle imaging system for proton therapy. In this work, we characterize a novel organic glass scintillator (OGS) and investigate its potential for such a system,...
