Carbon range verification with 718 keV Compton imaging

Abstract Carbon ion radiotherapy is a sophisticated radiation treatment modality because of its superiority in achieving precise dosage distribution and high biological effectiveness. However, there exist beam range uncertainties that affect treatment efficiency. This problem can be resolved if the...
