TULIP, Turning LInac for Protontherapy, is a novel accelerator systems for protontherapy mounted on a rotating gantry designed by the TERA Foundation and CERN [1,2].TULIP is natively designed with a 3D active scanning system that, besides the transverse scanning with fast magnets, features a fast beam energy variation from the linac to scan in the longitudinal direction in few ms.The main goal of...
In this work the new developments of FLUKA [1,2] Positron Emission Tomography (PET) tools [3] are presented. FLUKA is a fully integrated Monte Carlo (MC) particle transport code, widely used for an extended range of applications, including medical physics. Recently FLUKA has provided the medical community with dedicated simulation tools for clinical applications, such as DICOM to voxel or PET simulation...
