Matthias Wurl presents two essential steps to implement offline PET
monitoring of proton dose delivery at a clinical facility, namely
the setting up of an accurate Monte Carlo model of the clinical
beamline and the experimental validation of positron emitter
production cross-sections. In the first part, the field size
dependence of the dose output is described for scanned proton
beams. Both the Monte Carlo and an analytical computational beam
model were able to accurately predict target dose, while the latter
tends to overestimate dose in normal tissue. In the second part,
the author presents PET measurements of different phantom
materials, which were activated by the proton beam. The results
indicate that for an irradiation with a high number of protons for
the sake of good statistics, dead time losses of the PET scanner
may become important and lead to an underestimation of
positron-emitter production yields.
