Quality assurance in particle therapy is an open issue that can be addressed with reliable monitoring techniques, such as in-beam PET and prompt-gamma-timing (PGT). In-beam PET is able to provide online feedback on the particle range by detecting the radiation related to the β+ activity, while PGT relies on the time-of-flight (TOF) of prompt photons. The I3PET (In-beam PET Innovative Imaging) project is developing a novel scanner demonstrator that combines in-beam PET and PGT within the same detector, exploiting the potential synergy of these two techniques.

Abstract
Quality assurance in particle therapy is an open issue that can be addressed with reliable monitoring techniques, such as in-beam PET and prompt-gamma-timing (PGT). In-beam PET is able to provide online feedback on the particle range by detecting the radiation related to the β+ activity, while PGT relies on the time-of-flight (TOF) of prompt photons. The I3PET (In-beam PET Innovative Imaging) project is developing a novel scanner demonstrator that combines in-beam PET and PGT within the same detector, exploiting the potential synergy of these two techniques.
