In hadron therapy a highly conformed irradiation field is delivered to the target by precisely moving the particle beam and, at the same time, modulating its energy with the aim to cover the tumor volume with the requested dose sparing the surrounding healthy tissues as much as possible. To setup a robust treatment plan the Stopping Power (SP) map for each patient should be measured and the volume to be irradiated precisely located.To improve the precision of the SP map determination the use of a proton beam to perform a 'proton Computed Tomography' (pCT) could be the ideal solution. To be effective in reducing the uncertainties in dose spatial distribution, this novel method should keep the SP map spatial resolution below one millimeter.Tracking in presence of large multiple scattering will be discussed in these proceedings together with the concept of 'most likely path' (MLP). A generalization of the studies on this issue will be introduced with the aim to describe instrumental effects on the MLP spatial resolution.The pCT apparatus, based on a Silicon microstrip tracker followed by a calorimeter to measure single protons trajectory and their residual energy, will be reviewed with particular emphasis on the R&D ongoing on this subject and the results already obtained. New prototypes presently under construction, which will be suitable for pre-clinical studies, will be described too.
