Experimental validation of a FLUKA Monte Carlo simulation for carbon‐ion radiotherapy monitoring via secondary ion tracking
Our study confirms the potential of our simulation framework to investigate the performance of monitoring inter-fractional anatomical changes in patients undergoing CIRT using secondary nuclear charged fragments escaping from the irradiated patient.
