Stopping power accuracy and achievable spatial resolution of helium ion imaging using a prototype particle CT detector system
A precise relative stopping power map of the patient is crucial for accurate particle therapy. Charged particle imaging determines the stopping power either tomographically – particle computed tomography (pCT) – or by combining prior knowledge from particle radiography (pRad) and x-ray CT. Generally...
