| 研究実績の概要 |
Recently, we have developed a whole gamma imaging (WGI) system which can work as PET, single gamma-ray and triple gamma-ray imaging simultaneously. First, the performance of scatterer detector of the WGI system regarding the radiation hardness was studied for C-10 irradiation, then the performance of WGI was studied by simulation using the Geant4 code. The scatterer detector consisted of a segmented GAGG crystal and a multi-pixel photon counter (MPPC) and its performance was studied as a PMMA phantom was irradiated with 5 and 400 spills of C-10 with energy of 350 MeV/u. No damage to the MPPC or scatterer detector was observed even though after irradiation of 400 spills. Sensitivity ofthe system by simulation of a C-10 nuclide at the center of field of view (FOV) was also investigated.

現在までの達成度 (区分)
1: 当初の計画以上に進展している
理由
We successfully develop a whole gamma imaging (WGI) system and we are using the system to study feasibility of C-10 visualization in ion therapy.
|
| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
The performance of the system will be evaluated by simulation for irradiation of a PMMA with a C-10 ion beam and feasibility of the WGI system for visualization of C-10 will be investigated practically in the carbon therapy facility of the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC) for C-10 ion beam irradiation.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
It was supposed to buy some items for the research last year but there was no need to buy any items. Because they were available in our group.
