Study of the Capabilities of the Timepix Detector for Ion Beam Radiotherapy Applications
Original language description
The finite range of ion beams in matter and the presence of the Bragg-peak at the end of their range enable to create highly localized dose distributions. This advantage represents at the same time a challenge - namely to control all factors influencingthe dose distribution with high precision. To ensure the required quality of the dose distribution applied to the patient, a number of measurement procedures is conducted. Many of these techniques were adopted from photon beam radiotherapy. Improvementsin terms of the information amount gained are expected from new generations of dedicated ion detection techniques. One of the possible research directions is given by semiconductor-based detectors, which are at present rarely used in ion beam radiotherapy. In this contribution we report on the studies of the capabilities of the Timepix detector. This hybrid semiconductor pixelated detector was developed by the Medipix Collaboration at CERN. Its high spatial resolution allows an online re
