A Compton telescope for dose delivery monitoring in hadron therapy is under development at IFIC Valencia within the European project ENVISION. The telescope will consist of three detector planes, each one composed of a LaBr3 continuous scintillator crystal coupled to four silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) arrays. After the development of a first prototype which served to assess the principle, a second...
A first prototype of a high resolution small animal PET scanner based on continuous LYSO scintillator crystals and silicon photomultiplier matrices has been developed at IFIC-Valencia, in collaboration with the University of Pisa and INFN Pisa. The prototype consists of two detector heads attached to a rotating stage. Each head is composed of a continuous 12 mm × 12 mm × 5 mm LYSO crystal painted...
In hadron therapy, prompt gamma rays are emitted during the treatment from the excited nuclei in the tissue, and can be employed for dose monitoring. A Compton telescope is under development within the ENVISION project for imaging the prompt gamma rays. The telescope will consist of several detector layers, each composed of a continuous LaBr3 crystal coupled to silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) arrays...
The University of Pisa and INFN Pisa are developing a prototype of a small animal PET tomograph employing continuous LYSO crystals and silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) matrices as photodetectors. The Center for Scientific and Technological Research (FBK-irst) has developed monolithic, 64 pixel SiPM matrices for their use in the PET scanner. The IFIC-Valencia collaborates in the characterization of the...
