Performance characterization of a 3D liquid scintillation detector for discrete spot scanning proton beam systems.
Existing systems for proton beam dosimetry are limited in their ability to provide a complete, accurate, and detailed account of volumetric dose distribution. In this work, we describe the design and development of a portable, fast, and reusable liquid scintillator-based three-dimensional (3D) optical detection system for use in proton therapy. Our long-term goal is to use this system clinicall...
متن کاملDevelopment of a liquid scintillator-based 3D detector for range measurements of spot-scanned proton beams
The goal of the present study is to develop a liquid scintillator-based 3D detector and investigate its performance for beam range measurements in real time. The detector design consists of a tank filled with water-equivalent liquid scintillator that scintillates in response to incident proton beams. Three scientific complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (sCMOS) cameras collect the resulting ...
متن کاملProton beam dosimetry by CR-39 track-etched detector
Background: High and intermediate energy protons are not able to form a track in a solid state nuclear track detector (SSNTD) directly. However, such tracks can be formed through secondary particles created during primary radiation nuclear reactions in a SSNTD. Materials and Methods: The protons with primary energies of 9.6 and 30 MeV available at the cyclotron accelerator with corresponding lo...
متن کاملGolden beam data for proton pencil-beam scanning.
Proton, as well as other ion, beams applied by electro-magnetic deflection in pencil-beam scanning (PBS) are minimally perturbed and thus can be quantified a priori by their fundamental interactions in a medium. This a priori quantification permits an optimal reduction of characterizing measurements on a particular PBS delivery system. The combination of a priori quantification and measurements...
متن کاملProton beam therapy for medulloblastoma.
It is heartening to read a report of good functional outcomes following proton beam therapy in young patients with medulloblastoma, including the absence of many unpleasant side eff ects that can occur after conventional photon therapy. The authors quote UK research, which criticises the current proton therapy treatment policy of dividing the x-ray (photon) equivalent dose by 1·1. This is done ...
