TL;DR: The aim of the PRoton IMAging experiment and the PRIN 2006 project is to realize a proton computed radiography (pCR) prototype for reconstruction of proton images from a single projection in order to validate the technique with pre-clinical studies and, eventually, to conceive the configuration of a complete pCT system.
Journal ArticleDOI
