| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of study is the feasibility of particle imaging using range shift of Bragg peak, which detected by using flat panel and mechanical range shifter, in the carbon ion radiotherapy. In case of the range shift of Bragg peak will be detected with accuracy, it would be able to make the particle image. However, it is difficult by using the mechanical range shifter, because the amount of range shift difference would be small on the soft tissue. To detect the range shift, it would need additional detector in the depth direction. In this study, we confirmed the method of image generation using range shift, possibility of flat panel for the range shift detection of Bragg peak, and basics of Multi Pixel Photon Counter (MPPC) as the next generation devices.
