Development of a three‐dimensional scintillation detector for pencil beam verification in proton therapy patient‐specific quality assurance
The high acquisition rate and the very high sensitivity of the system developed in this work allowed to record pulses of intensities as low as 2 × 10<sup>-3</sup> MU. SCICOPRO was thus able to measure all the characteristics of the spots of a treatment (position, energy, intensity) in a single measurement, making it possible to verify their compliance with the treatment plan. SCICOPRO thus proved to be a fast and accurate tool that would be useful for patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) on a pulse-by-pulse or PB-by-PB verification basis.
