  1. (, SPIE Medical Imaging Conference)
    Protons deposit the majority of their energy at the end of their lifetimes, characterized by a Bragg peak. This makes proton therapy a viable way to target cancerous tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. However, in order to utilize this high precision treatment, greater accuracy in tumor imaging is needed. An approximate uncertainty of ±3% exists in the current practice of proton therapy due to conversions between x-ray and proton stopping power. An imaging system utilizing protons has the potential to eliminate that inaccuracy. This study focuses on developing a proof of concept proton-imaging detector built with a high-density glass scintillator.
