Journal ArticleDOI
Recent results on the development of a proton computed tomography system
C. Civinini,Mara Bruzzi,Marta Bucciolini,M. Carpinelli,G.A.P. Cirrone,Giacomo Cuttone,D. Lo Presti,Stefania Pallotta,C. Pugliatti,N. Randazzo,Fabrizio Romano,Monica Scaringella,Valeria Sipala,C. Stancampiano,Cinzia Talamonti,E. Vanzi,Margherita Zani +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, the tracker is composed of four planes of silicon microstrip detectors to measure proton entry and exit positions and angles, and residual energy is measured by a calorimeter composed of YAG:Ce scintillating crystals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microdosimetry at the CATANA 62 MeV proton beam with a sealed miniaturized TEPC
V. Conte,Anna M. Bianchi,A Selva,Giada Petringa,G.A.P. Cirrone,A. Parisi,Filip Vanhavere,P. Colautti +7 more
TL;DR: A good agreement is pointed out between microdosimetric y-D and the total dose-average LET¯d, which is the average LET of the mixed radiation field, including the contribution by nuclear reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of an energy selector system for laser-driven proton beam applications
Valentina Scuderi,S. Bijan Jia,M. Carpinelli,G.A.P. Cirrone,Giacomo Cuttone,G. Korn,T Licciardello,Mario Maggiore,Daniele Margarone,P. Pisciotta,Francesco Romano,Francesco Schillaci,C. Stancampiano,A. Tramontana,A. Tramontana +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, a beam transport line based on permanent dipoles is proposed to control and select energy laser-accelerated proton beams, which can be potentially accelerated up to hundreds of MeV and represent a promising opportunity for medical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study of a silicon telescope for solid state microdosimetry: Preliminary measurements at the therapeutic proton beam line of CATANA
Stefano Agosteo,Stefano Agosteo,G.A.P. Cirrone,P. Colautti,Giacomo Cuttone,G. D'Angelo,G. D'Angelo,Alberto Fazzi,Alberto Fazzi,M.V. Introini,M.V. Introini,D. Moro,Andrea Pola,Andrea Pola,V. Varoli,V. Varoli +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, a monolithic silicon device consisting of a matrix of micrometric cylindrical diodes coupled to a residual energy measurement stage E (about 500μm in thickness) was proposed and studied for assessing the quality of a therapeutic proton beam.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monte Carlo evaluation of the Filtered Back Projection method for image reconstruction in proton computed tomography
G.A.P. Cirrone,Marta Bucciolini,Mara Bruzzi,G. Candiano,C. Civinini,Giacomo Cuttone,P. Guarino,D. Lo Presti,S. E. Mazzaglia,Stefania Pallotta,N. Randazzo,Valeria Sipala,C. Stancampiano,Cinzia Talamonti +13 more
TL;DR: The use of the Filtered Back Projection Algorithm, in order to reconstruct tomographic images using the high energy (200–250 MeV) proton beams, is investigated and image quality has been analysed and compared with the total absorbed dose.
