Abstract

The purpose of this study was to experimentally assess the possibility to monitor carbon ion range variations--due to tumor shift and/or elongation or shrinking--using prompt-gamma (PG) emission with inhomogeneous phantoms. Such a study is related to the development of PG monitoring techniques to be used in a carbon ion therapy context.
