Improving the precision and conformity of proton treatment delivery by application of proton beam range monitoring remains to be one of the greatest challenges of the proton radiation therapy[1]. One of the most commonly investigated approaches is to measure proton beam range by means of detection of annihilation gammas produced in patient during irradiation. A new, modular, easy-configurable...
In recent years the application of Auger emitters for cancer targeted therapy has got great attention. Current clinically useful systemic radiation therapies are mainly based on β- radiation emitters. However, the tissue range of low energy β- particles is about several hundred cells length that is not optimal for treatment of small-size tumors [1]. Tissue range of α particles is only around...
Advanced devices for diagnostics and medical therapy require a constant and stable power source. The disadvantage of commonly used uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is the heavy weight[1], centralization and the need to use specially prepared rooms and dedicated electrical installations. The aim of the presented research is to prepare a safe, economic and modular Uninterruptible Power Booster...
On behalf of the J-PET Collaboration
A new and popular trend in the field of medical imaging, especially in the positron emission tomography, is the construction of scanners with a whole human body coverage. Such total body PET tomographs prove to be much more efficient and accurate with respect to the clinically available PET systems [1]. One of the groups, which is currently developing a...
