Remote sensing of high energy particle current generated by megavoltage x‐rays
In this work, we demonstrated that information about the internal composition of an object can be obtained through HEC sensing. Specifically, the distribution of HEC inside of an object resulting from x-ray irradiation was measured using a simple system of planar electrodes and agreed well with radiation transport simulations. HEC sensing has the potential to be a disruptive method of imaging with its low power, low profile, and non-invasive nature.
