  1. 15. Results on proton Computed Tomography
    Monica Scaringella (INFN Firenze)
    09/11/2020, 13:30

    In hadron therapy a highly conformed irradiation field is delivered to the target by moving the beam and modulating its energy. Treatment plans require precisely measured patients’ Stopping Power (SP) maps, which are presently extracted from X-rays tomographies, so introducing unavoidable uncertainties. A direct measurement of the SP maps using protons (proton Computed Tomography - pCT), could...

    PURPOSE
    To present the GR5 project titled “XpCalib – Proton therapy X-ray CT calibration by proton tomography” recently financed by INFN.

    BACKGROUND
    In recent past, INFN research projects such as Prima, RDH and IRPT have studied the feasibility of proton Computed Tomography (pCT) as a tool to improve treatment accuracy in hadron therapy.
    In this framework a pre-clinical prototype has...

  3. 23. MoVeIT detectors characterization at Trento Proton Beam Line Facility
    Anna Vignati (TO)
    09/11/2020, 13:50

    Within the MoVeIT project of the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), the University of Torino and the INFN are investigating Ultra-Fast Silicon Detectors (UFSD) for proton beam monitoring in order to replace ionization chambers currently in use in Hadrontherapy.
    Two devices are being developed based on UFSD: one for measuring the beam energy using Time-of-Flight (ToF) techniques,...
