Author(s): Prabodh K Pandey, Gilberto Gonzalez, Kristina Bjegovic, Leshan Sun, Yong Chen, Liangzhong Xiang ABSTRACT We propose protoacoustic radiography (PAR), an imaging modality combining proton excitation and acoustic detection for three-dimensional (3D) imaging from a single proton projection. PAR avoids the effect of multiple Coulomb scattering in imaging by detecting ultrasound. Proton-induced acoustic waves propagate spherically, […]

The development of ionizing radiation acoustic imaging (iRAI) for mapping the dose deep in the patient body during radiation therapy
Author(s): Wei Zhang, Dale Litzenberg, Yaocai Huang, Kai-Wei Chang, Ibrahim Oraiqat, Scott Hadley, Eduardo G. Moros, Man Zhang, Paul L. Carson, Kyle C. Cuneo, Issam EI Naqa, Xueding Wang Abstract Ionizing radiation acoustic imaging (iRAI) provides the potential to map the radiation dose during radiotherapy in real time. Described here is the development of iRAI volumetric imaging system in mapping the three-dimensional (3D) radiation dose deposition […]
