Efficient and Intelligent Radiotherapy Planning and Adaptation
… as a direct inference calculation. * On-line proton range verification. Proton therapy is sensitive to motion and anatomy variation. For the previously proposed range-guided proton therapy strategy, we conducted an end-to-end Monte-Carlo simulation of the on-line proton measurement process. …

Use of Positron Emission to mography For Proton Therapy Verification
… response monitoring, has recently been used for proton therapy verification. By imaging tissue activation following proton treatment, attempts have been made to verify proton <em>dose</em> and <em>range</em>. In this dissertation, two novel approaches were developed and tested for the purpose of …

A new prompt gamma spectroscopy-based approach for range verification in proton therapy
Proton therapy is a well-established technology in radiotherapy, whose benefits stem from both physical and biological properties. Ions deposit the maximum dose, i.e. the ratio between the energy absorbed by the tissue and its mass (Gy = J/k g), in a localized region close to the end of their range …
