On-line range verification for proton beam therapy using spherical ionoacoustic waves with resonant frequency
Abstract In contrast to conventional X-ray therapy, proton beam therapy (PBT) can confine radiation doses to tumours because of the presence of the Bragg peak. However, the precision of the treatment is currently limited by the uncertainty in the beam range. Recently, a unique range verification met...
