Accuracy of a helium‐beam radiography system based on thin pixel detectors for an anthropomorphic head phantom
The helium-beam radiograph was shown to achieve a WET accuracy competitive with that of clinically used imaging methods. If certain technical aspects are addressed, helium-beam radiography may emerge as an auspicious imaging modality for on-couch range verification of ion-beam radiotherapy treatments allowing for regular detection and quantification of anatomical changes.
