A simulation study of in-beam visualization system for proton therapy by monitoring scattered protons

Recently, in-beam positron emission tomography (PET) has been actively researched for reducing biological washout effects and dose monitoring during irradiation. However, the positron distribution does not precisely reflect the dose distribution since positron production and ionization are completel...
