Figure Legend Snippet: Basics of range verification, exemplarily shown for the voxel coordinates (x, y) = (70,59) in patient P3 (cf table 1). Left: β+-activity profiles obtained by MC simulation and in-beam PET measurement, normalized to the maximum, as well as the corresponding dose profile are shown. The blue lines denote the location of the activity maximum, the 50 % dose fall-off (vertically, left to right) and the 20 % activity limit (horizontally). Right: The profile difference Ddiff is visualized as function of the profile shift for different analysis starting depths zmin.
Techniques Used: Activity Assay
Figure Legend Snippet: Range verification of the proton-irradiation induced activity in P7. (a) Exemplary sagittal planes of the simulation (top) and the offline PET measurement (bottom) are displayed. (b) The corresponding normalized activity depth profiles are shown together with the dose profile. The activity fall-off thresholds of 25 % and 50 % are marked by blue lines. (c) The MLS results (top) show only small deviations in most parts of the distribution compared to the MP (bottom) calculations.
Techniques Used: Irradiation, Activity Assay
Figure Legend Snippet: Range verification with several offline measured activity distributions after different treatment fractions of P6. The most-likely shift for the analysis between M1 and M2 (a), M1 and M3 (b) as well as between M1 and M4 (c) is shown.
