Proton Therapy Verification with PET Imaging
Proton therapy is very sensitive to uncertainties introduced during treatment planning and dose delivery. PET imaging of proton induced positron emitter distributions is the only practical approach for in vivo, in situ verification of proton therapy. This article reviews the current status of proton therapy verification with PET imaging. The different data detecting systems (in-beam, in-room an...
متن کامل4D PET: Beyond conventional dynamic PET imaging
In this paper, we review novel techniques in the emerging field of spatiotemporal 4D PET imaging. We will discuss existing limitations in conventional dynamic PET imaging which involves independent reconstruction of dynamic PET datasets. Various approaches that seek to attempt some or all of these limitations are reviewed in this work, including techniques that util...
متن کاملDesign of practical proton-activated implantable markers for proton range verification using PET
Specific Aims: The aim of this research project is to develop a fiducial marker that can be used for in vivo proton range verification following proton therapy. Our group has previously shown the feasibility of using novel elements as proton-activated fiducial markers that can be imaged using an off-site PET scanner (Cho et al 2013). In this research, we will investigate the optimal physical co...
متن کاملDevelopment of dose delivery verification by PET imaging of photonuclear reactions following high energy photon therapy.
A method for dose delivery monitoring after high energy photon therapy has been investigated based on positron emission tomography (PET). The technique is based on the activation of body tissues by high energy bremsstrahlung beams, preferably with energies well above 20 MeV, resulting primarily in 11C and 15O but also 13N, all positron-emitting radionuclides produced by photoneutron reactions i...
متن کاملConsider potential of gold nanoparticles with proton therapy compared with KV and MEV X-ray therapy.
Introduction: Many study shown the effectiveness dose enhancement with gold nanoparticles (GNPs), especially with low-energy x-rays. Recently, proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT) has attention as a treatment for tumors. The advantage in PBRT, which releases high dose at the controllable Bragg peak position that localized for Au target and the released dose increased in depth....
