The Bergen proton CT system

Abstract: The Bergen proton Computed Tomography (pCT) is a prototype detector under construction. It aims to have the capability to track and measure ions’ energy deposition to minimize uncertainty in proton treatment planning. It is a high granularity digital tracking calorimeter, where the first two layers will act as tracking layers to obtain positional information of the incoming particle. The remainder of the detector will act as a calorimeter. Beam tests have been performed with multiple beams. These tests have sh… Show more

“…As a particle traverses the detector, it deposits energy in the sensitive layer, generating a 3D digital hit map along its path. The final prototype has a measuring area of 27 cm × 16.6 cm, which is adequate for imaging the human head [47].…”

“…Darüber hinaus zeigt die Vielfalt der Projekte mit ähnlichen Ansätzen, dass das Ziel der Ionenradiographie lohnenswert ist (z.B. PRaVDA [17], Bergen pCT [18] oder US pCT [19]). Allerdings haben sich die meisten dieser Alternativen bisher auf Proton-Bildgebung spezialisiert, wofür auch das "pCT", also Protonen Computertomographie, steht.…”
