Position sensitive detectors in proton therapy: online monitoring of the beam position Open
Spot-scanning is a highly dynamic treatment method in proton therapy, tailored to each tumor shape individually. By superimposing many single spots in all three spatial axes, a prescribed dose is applied to the tumor volume. To minimize do…

A Real-Time Beam Monitoring System for Highly Dynamic Irradiations in Scanned Proton Therapy Open
Patient treatments in scanned proton therapy exhibit dead times, e.g. when adjusting beamline settings for a different energy or lateral position. On the one hand, such dead times prolong the overall treatment time, but on the other hand t…
