TOWARD REAL-TIME, VOLUMETRIC DOSIMETRY FOR FLASH-CAPABLE CLINICAL SYNCHROCYCLOTRONS USING PROTOACOUSTIC IMAGING
Authors: Siqi Wang, Gilberto Gonzalez, Daniel Rocky Owen, Leshan Sun, Yan Liu, Townsend Zwart, Yong Chen, Liangzhong Xiang ABSTRACT BackgroundRadiation delivery with ultra-high dose rate (FLASH) radiotherapy (RT) holds promise for improving treatment outcomes and reducing side effects but poses challenges in radiation delivery accuracy due to its ultra-high dose rates. This necessitates the development […]
REAL-TIME TRACKING OF THE BRAGG PEAK DURING PROTON THERAPY VIA 3D PROTOACOUSTIC IMAGING IN A CLINICAL SCENARIO
Authors: Siqi Wang, Gilberto Gonzalez, Leshan Sun, Yifei Xu, Prabodh Pandey, Yong Chen & Shawn (Liangzhong) Xiang ABSTRACT Proton radiotherapy favored over X-ray photon therapy due to its reduced radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues, is highly dependent on the accurate positioning of the Bragg peak. Existing methods like PET and prompt gamma imaging to […]
