“…22) and to exceed 2 MHz are currently under study. 19,[25][26][27] In this context, attention should be paid to hadron accelerators, which are available nowadays for hadrontherapy purposes. A number of choices now exist for the generation and delivery of protons, e.g., cyclotrons and synchrotrons and their specifications are designed for therapy applications.…”

The PB approach to proton imaging may allow technical challenges imposed by the current proton-by-proton method to be overcome. In this framework, an analytical algorithm is proposed. Further work will involve a detailed study of the performances and limitations of this approach in terms of image quality. The paper shows how to account for the MCS in the reconstruction step with this new approach when an analytical reconstruction algorithm is used.
