TL;DR: Hadrontherapy as mentioned in this paper is a C++, free and open source application developed using the Geant4 Monte Carlo libraries, which allows the simulation of a typical proton/ion transport beam line and the calculation of dose and fluence distributions inside a test phantom.

TL;DR: The ELIMAIA beamline has been designed and developed at the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Science of the Czech Republic (IoP-ASCR) in Prague and at the National Laboratories of Southern Italy of the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (LNS-INFN) in Catania (Italy) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The results confirm the good performances of the PRIMA scanner prototype and demonstrate that FBP can produce images of sufficient quality to be used for patient positioning and to initialize iterative pCT reconstruction methods.

TL;DR: The ELIMED (ELI-Beamlines MEDICAL applications) beamline as discussed by the authors is the first user's open transport beam line where a controlled laser-driven ion beam will be used for multidisciplinary and medical studies.

TL;DR: The possibility to use of MOSFET dosimeters in order to measure the Output Factors (OF) for very small irradiation fields was verified and the comparison of OF obtained using MOSfETs and other dosimetry systems is reported.
