An in-vivo treatment monitoring system for ion-beam radiotherapy based on 28 Timepix3 detectors

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Ion-beam radiotherapy is an advanced cancer treatment modality offering steep dose gradients and a high biological effectiveness. These gradients make the therapy vulnerable to patient-setup and anatomical changes between treatment fractions, which may go unnoticed. Charged fragments from nuclear interactions of the ion beam with the patient tissue may carry information about the treatment quality....
