摘要
We describe the test results of a Proton Range Radiography system, designed to provide in-beam integrated density images of the patients before treatment at hadrontherapy centers. The instrument includes a set of position-sensitive detectors and a scintillator stack read out with solid-state sensors to record the Bragg energy loss profile for each track. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
