Abstract:The high cost and low image quality traditionally associated with proton computed tomography (pCT) have prevented it from seeing significant use in clinical settings. A cheap, compact, high-density scintillating glass detector capable of being attached to existing proton therapy gantries may help address these concerns. The design of the detector allows for use in conjunction with single-proton counting reconstruction algorithms, as well as beam-based algorithms that do not resolve individual protons within an… Show more
