| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed a new heavy ion computed tomography system using scintillation screen - electron-multiplying charged coupled device (EMCCD) camera capable of measuring a large object, such as a human head. We prepared a new large dynamic range shifter consisting of a binary right triangular prism made of PMMA. We performed the experimental tests with a new system using the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC), at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS), where a new broad beam of 12C generated by spreading out the pencil beam accelerated up to 430 MeV/u using a scatterer and wobbler magnets was also prepared. We successfully achieved the two-dimensional relative residual range distribution with the same accuracy (σ=0.04 mm (PMMA)) for a field of view (FOV) of 180 mm. We successfully reconstructed PMMA rods with a diameter of 1cm at arbitrary positions in FOV. CT data acquisition using brain tumor phantom and our new system will be performed in 2015 at NIRS.
