Proton range verification enabled by acoustic modulation of superheated nanodroplets KU Leuven
Proton therapy has grown exponentially over the past 20 years. The success of proton therapy relies on its ability to inflict maximal tumor damage while minimizing the exposure of organs at risk. However, range uncertainties currently prevent proton therapy to reach its full potential, and hamper its adoption for moving targets in the abdomen, which hosts particularly deadly cancers. Although several techniques for in vivo proton range ...
