WE‐G‐500‐02: BEST IN PHYSICS (JOINT IMAGING‐THERAPY)‐Proton Beam Range Verification Using Proton Activated Fiducials and Off‐Site PET

Purpose: Proton range uncertainty places limits on the accuracy of proton therapy. PET imaging of activated endogenous tissue following proton treatment has been suggested as a tool for proton range verification. However, this approach is limited due to the weak activation of tissue near the proton...
