Dosimetric effects of inserted non-radioactive elements in a tumor area in proton therapy

Dosimetric effects of inserted non-radioactive elements in a tumor area in proton therapy

Introduction: Various prompt gamma (PG) ray-based techniques have been proposed to monitor the proton range during treatment, but the poor PG statistics produced entangle their clinical application. Recently, we developed a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation model for the enhancement of PG production based...
