| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, proton therapy for cancer with high precision can be provided by research and development of proton CT imaging system. We developed the function of proton beam measurement using plastic and BGO scintillator detector, proton CT image reconstruction algorithm, dose calculation on proton CT image. Proton CT imaging system was constructed by integration of those developed functions. We carried out experiment of proton beam irradiation with 70 and 200 MeV energies to various types of subjects, data acquisition and analysis for proton CT imaging. As a result, 3-D proton CT imaging of various types of subjects was achieved using the developed system. Deterioration of the 3-D proton CT image caused by Coulomb multiple scattering effect of proton beam in subject was evaluated by use of Monte Carlo calculation and observed around the edges of the subjects.
