DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Antoni Rucinski (Instytut Fizyki Jądrowej PAN)\nPar
 ticle therapies with protons\, helium or carbon ions are emerging treatmen
 ts enabling precise targeting of pathological cancer tissues due to invert
 ed depth-dose distribution (Bragg peak) offering improved dose conformity 
 with respect to conventional radiotherapy by X-rays. In addition to their 
 dosimetric advantages\, protons and heavier ions penetrating patient tissu
 e undergo scattering and nuclear interactions and produce secondary radiat
 ion of different type\, i.e.\, radioactive isotopes\, ions\, photons\, and
  neutrons at varying energies. The secondary radiation induced by primary 
 ions\, which is not present in conventional X-ray therapy\, can be detecte
 d and used to image therapeutic dose in the patient and gain information a
 bout patient anatomy simultaneously with the radiation therapy. I will rev
 iew the ongoing research and development of imaging methods based on secon
 dary radiation induced by particle beams\, focusing on the underlying pote
 ntial of particle therapy to be considered as theranostic approach to radi
 ation therapy.\n\nhttps://indico.koza.if.uj.edu.pl/event/4/contributions/2
