Abstract:
Abstract Background and purpose: in-beam Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is one of the modalities that can be used for in-vivo non-invasive treatment monitoring in proton therapy. PET distributions obtained during various treatment sessions can be compared in order to identify regions that have anatomical changes. The purpose of this work is to test and compare different analysis methods in the context of inter-fractional PET image comparison for proton treatment verification. Methods: for our study we used the FLUKA Monte Carlo code and artificially generated CT scans to simulate in-beam P

Abstract:
<b>Objective:</b> The in-vivo therapy guidance by imaging and dosimetry of proton irradiations, generically known as proton range verification, are some of the most underinvested aspects of radiation oncology. They trail behind other advances in radiation therapy due to the scarcity of sensitive instruments compounded by the lack of treatment protocols for precision monitoring of effects of beam radiation. This is despite that such measurements may dramatically enhance the treatment accuracy and lower the postradiation toxicity, thus improving the entire outcome of cancer therapy.

Abstract:
<b>Objectives:</b> Proton therapy, while highly effective and successful, still lacks a key feature: the ability to assess, in-vivo, the dose and end-point location of irradiations. Known as proton range verification, this capability can be realized by incorporating positron emission tomography (PET) systems in both conventional and emerging modalities, such as FLASH proton therapy. FLASH itself may revolutionize radiation oncology with its purported ability to better spare healthy tissues, but only if the underlying mechanisms can be understood. We summarize our work towards estab

Abstract:
Proton therapy (PT) is a treatment with high dose conformality that delivers a highly-focused radiation dose to solid tumors. Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT), on the other hand, is a systemic radiation therapy, which makes use of intravenously-applied radioconjugates. In this project, it was aimed to perform an initial dose-searching study for the combination of these treatment modalities in a preclinical setting. Therapy studies were performed with xenograft mouse models of folate receptor (FR)-positive KB and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive PC-3 PIP tumors, respectivel

Abstract:
The design of the proton therapy center being constructed at the University of Pennsylvania is based on several principles that distinguish it from other proton facilities. Among these principles is the recognition that advances in imaging, and particularly in functional imaging, will have a large impact on radiotherapy in the near future and that the conformation of proton dose distributions can utilize that information to a larger degree than other treatment techniques. The facility will contain four-dimensional CT-simulators, an MR-simulator capable of spectroscopy, and a PET-CT scanner. A

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the use of a dedicated system for proton therapy treatments monitoring based on the PET technique. It focuses on the use of data acquired shortly after irradiations, which is currently not yet fully explored. An ad hoc detector called DoPET was built and used for several experiments. This stationary dual-head detector, along with an on-purpose optimised reconstruction software, is capable of reconstructing the β+ activated volume, acquiring data also during treatment for cyclotron based facilities. Currently, this system is one of the few PET systems wo
