Hybrid treatment verification based on prompt gamma rays and fast neutrons: multivariate modelling for proton range determination

Robust and fast in vivo treatment verification is expected to increase the clinical efficacy of proton therapy. The combined detection of prompt gamma rays and neutrons has recently been proposed for this purpose and shown to increase the monitoring accuracy. However, the potential of this technique...
