Feasibility Study of All-digital PET Monitoring Proton Therapy

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is one of the most promising non-invasive in vivo imaging techniques for the proton therapy verification. In this paper we investigate the feasibility of using an all-digital PET technology platform for in-beam or in-room imaging for proton therapy. We performed a series of experiments using phantom and biological tissue. Our initial results demonstrate the PET technology platform is promising for verification of proton therapy.
