Inhaltsangabe

The benefits of Particle Therapy (PT), stemming from its physical and radiobiological advantages, necessitate the use of dedicated imaging technologies and approaches to ensure precise treatment planning and delivery. This book endeavors to establish a fundamental understanding of imaging within the context of PT, alongside exploring current research and clinical perspectives on its role. The focus is directed towards examining near-room, in-room, and in-beam technologies, both those already in clinical use and those in the developmental stage, which play pivotal roles in treatment planning, delivery, and verification processes, enabling adjustments either offline or online. Concurrently, the text addresses methodological solutions derived from these imaging modalities to effectively address challenges such as range uncertainties, anatomical variations, and biological properties, thereby enhancing the accuracy of treatment modeling and adaptation.
