Establishing the function relationship between time spectrum and proton range in proton therapy through Monte Carlo simulation

To validate range shifts in proton therapy, we investigated the potential of using the temporal information of prompt gamma rays as an indicator. We simulated the proton transport process using Monte Carlo simulations and used a geometric scorer to obtain the location and timing of prompt gamma ray...
