Description
Bateman and a team of co-authors check proton therapy beams with a three-in-one detector instead of water tanks. Their work appeared in twenty twenty-five. Patient-specific quality checks today are slow phantom measurements or unverified machine logs.
One device measures range and energy with a scintillator telescope. A pixel sensor verifies each spot's position and size, and a transmission calorimeter gauges intensity. The readings feed simulations that rebuild the full three-dimensional dose for comparison with the plan. Energy matched plan values almost perfectly at a London hospital's tests. The pixel sensor saturated on big fields, a limit the authors report openly. Dose linearity was exact. Phantom-free checking could free hours per patient.
