Daily adaptive proton therapy: Feasibility study of detection of tumor variations based on tomographic imaging of prompt gamma emission from proton–boron fusion reaction

In this study, the images of specific prompt gamma (PG)-rays of 719 keV emitted from proton–boron reactions were analyzed using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Quantitative evaluation of the images verified the detection of anatomical changes in tumors, one of the important facto...
