“…The main issues in prompt gamma imaging are the low acquired statistics, the large background, and the integration into a clinical environment. Larger statistics is expected with radioactive beams [249] or by loading the tumor with label elements [250]. Regarding MC simulations, the complexity of non-elastic nuclear reactions makes it difficult to accurately predict and reproduce the level and shape of prompt γ emission spectra (see Section 4.1).…”

In the last decades, important technological progress has been made to enhance the quality and efficiency of particle therapy treatments. Continuous improvements in dose delivery, treatment planning and verification techniques have lead to higher dose conformity and better sparing of healthy tissue. At the same time, particle therapy treatments are complex and much more expensive than conventional radiotherapy, and only highly specialized facilities can offer these treatments. Cost reduction is thus a strong drive behind technological developments in the field. The number of treatment facilities offering proton and carbon therapy has strongly grown in the last decades, and the amount of research efforts and innovations have increased continuously.From a technological perspective, advances in hardware are often accompanied by innovations in software and computation, and vice versa. In this review we will present a basic overview of technological advances in particle therapy hardware (accelerators, gantries, applications of superconductivity, treatment verification techniques), software (Monte Carlo simulations, treatment planning calculations), and studies towards clinical applications. By combining a broad selection of topics into a single review and by covering both proton and carbon therapy, we aim at providing the reader a unique overview of the evolution of various technologies developed for particle therapy.
