    Prompt-gamma imaging has the potential to reduce range uncertainties in medical proton therapy by detecting prompt-gamma rays emitted during treatment. Within the REALPATH project, we are developing a novel prompt-gamma imaging camera based on an array of 512 LYSO scintillator pixels (6 mm × 6 mm × 30 mm each) coupled to SiPMs and read out by a custom electronics platform incorporating the...

    X-ray Phase Contrast (XPC) micro-CT enables imaging weakly attenuating samples that are challenging to image with conventional micro-CT. Our group focuses on mask-based XPC, using a highly attenuating mask upstream of the sample to shape the x-ray beam into beamlets. Attenuation and refraction by the sample then cause an intensity reduction and directional shift of the beamlets, respectively....

    Time-of-flight ion computed tomography (ToF-iCT) is a promising imaging technique for ion beam therapy, offering the potential to enhance dose conformity and range accuracy through the direct reconstruction of patient stopping power distributions. In this contribution, we present a ToF-iCT demonstrator that has been tested using a medical ion beam. This places demanding requirements on the...
