Modulating ultrasound contrast generation from injectable nanodroplets for proton range verification by varying the degree of superheat KU Leuven
PURPOSE: Despite the physical benefits of protons over conventional photon radiation in cancer treatment, range uncertainties impede the ability to harness the full potential of proton therapy. While monitoring the proton range in vivo could reduce the currently adopted safety margins, a routinely applicable range verification technique is still lacking. Recently, phase-change nanodroplets were proposed for proton range verification, ...
