Optimization of the Signal-to-Background Ratio in Prompt Gamma Imaging Using Energy and Shifting Time-of-Flight Discrimination: Experiments With a Scanning Parallel-Slit Collimator
IEEE Transactions on Radiation and Plasma Medical Sciences(2018)
摘要
Much attention is currently being paid to imaging prompt gamma (PG) rays for in vivo proton range monitoring in proton therapy. PG imaging using a collimator is affected by neutron-related background. We study the effectiveness of background reduction experimentally, using a scanning parallel-slit PG collimator as a simplified model of a multislat PG camera. The analysis is focused on the falloff ...
