Description
Summary:In this contribution, we review the state-of-the-art of detector technologies applied to the particle therapy (PT) field. The increase of interest in PT has recently triggered a lot of efforts devoted to the improvement of all the treatment technological aspects. In this review, we have focused our attention on the recent beam delivery monitoring developments and on the study and implementation of the novel dosimetry and microdosimetry techniques.
