Estimating the stopping power distribution during proton therapy: A proof of concept

Objective: We introduce a new treatment verification technique to estimate the primary particle’s stopping power from prompt gamma timing measurements in proton therapy.Approach: The starting point is the Spatio-temporal Emission Recostruction technique, which provides the time-depth distribution of...
