Abstract

Bragg-peak radiosurgery and proton radiography have been used in radiotherapy over the past few years. Non-Bragg-peak (plateau) relativistic protons (E>1 GeV) can offer advantages both in terms of precision and target margin reduction, and especially thanks to the possible simultaneous use of high-resolution online proton radiography. Here we will present initial simulations and experiments toward image-guided stereotactic radiosurgery using GeV protons.
