Journal ArticleDOI
Prompt-gamma monitoring in hadrontherapy: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, a review and discussion of the state of the art for all techniques using prompt-gamma detection to improve the quality assurance in hadrontherapy is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Etienne Testa,M. Bajard,Marius Chevallier,Denis Dauvergne,F. Le Foulher,J.-C. Poizat,Cédric Ray,M. Testa,Nicolas Freud,Jean Michel Létang +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the longitudinal profile of prompt gamma-rays emitted by 73 MeV/u $^{13}$C ions irradiating a PMMA target was measured by means of a time-of-flight technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distributions of secondary particles in proton and carbon-ion therapy: a comparison between GATE/Geant4 and FLUKA Monte Carlo codes.

TL;DR: This paper investigates the nuclear models implemented in GATE/Geant4 and FLUKA by comparing the angular and energy distributions of secondary particles exiting a homogeneous target of PMMA and finds discrepancies from 14% to 57% in production yields as well as in the energy spectra for neutrons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dose profile monitoring with carbon ions by means of prompt-gamma measurements
Etienne Testa,M. Bajard,M. Chevallier,Denis Dauvergne,F. Le Foulher,Nicolas Freud,Jean Michel Létang,J.-C. Poizat,Cédric Ray,M. Testa +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the longitudinal profile of the prompt gamma-rays emitted by 73 MeV/u carbon ions stopping inside a PMMA target and found a good correlation between the prompt-gamma profile and the ion range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design Guidelines for a Double Scattering Compton Camera for Prompt- $\gamma$ Imaging During Ion Beam Therapy: A Monte Carlo Simulation Study
M.-H. Richard,M. Chevallier,Denis Dauvergne,Nicolas Freud,P. Henriquet,F. Le Foulher,Jean Michel Létang,Gerard Montarou,Cédric Ray,F. Roellinghoff,Etienne Testa,M. Testa,A.H. Walenta +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detection system combining a beam hodoscope and a double scattering Compton camera was proposed for real-time detection of the Bragg peak in the case of a photon point source in air.
