Proton therapy monitoring by Compton imaging: influence of the large energy spectrum of the prompt-γ radiation

In proton therapy, the prompt-γ (PG) radiation produced by the interactions between protons and matter is related to the range of the beam in the patient. Tomographic Compton imaging is currently studied to establish a PG image and verify the treatment. However the quality of the reconstructed image...
