Acoustic Localization of Bragg Peak Proton Beams for Hadrontherapy Monitoring

Acoustic Localization of Bragg Peak Proton Beams for Hadrontherapy Monitoring

Hadrontherapy makes it possible to deliver high doses of energy to cancerous tumors by using the large energy deposition in the Bragg-peak. However, uncertainties in the patient positioning and/or in the anatomical parameters can cause distortions in the calculation of the dose distribution. In orde...
