Description
The recent rise of Proton Therapy as a cancer treatment option motivates the need for sophisticated imaging to monitor the position of the proton beam deposition in a patient. Using Time-of-Flight (ToF) PET imaging, the project seeks to provide information of beam location and intensity in a patient by monitoring the presence of positron emitting isotopes produced due to energy deposition of the proton beam, known commonly as Proton-Range Verification.
