Objective.Verification of delivered proton therapy treatments is essential for reaping the many benefits modality, with most widely proposedin vivoverification technique being imaging positron emitting isotopes generated in patient during treatment using emission tomography (PET). The purpose this work to reduce computational resources and time required simulation activation GPU accelerated Monte Carlo code FRED, validate predicted activity against used GATE.Approach.We implement a...
The PETITION (PET for InTensive Care units and Innovative protON therapy) project aims to design two new bed-side Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners Intensive Units (ICU) proton beam therapy applications. first device is intended scan deeply sedated, critically-ill patients with sepsis infection directly at the ICU, as their condition does no allow a transportation regular PET/CT facilities. second designed online image acquisition in vivo dosimetry hypoxia tracking studies.While...
