  • HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING FOR THREE DIMENSIONAL PROTON COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY
    Publication number: 20160033659
    Abstract: A high performance computer system for three dimensional proton computed tomography and method of imaging an object are disclosed. The system includes a proton computed tomography (pCT) detector assembly with an arrangement of fibers attached to silicon photo multipliers (SiPMs). An electronic circuit amplifies and digitizes signals received from the SiPMs and communicates the digitized data over a network for image reconstruction.
    Type: Application

  • High performance computing for three dimensional proton computed tomography (HPC-pCT)
    Patent number: 9140810
    Abstract: A proton computed tomography (pCT) detector system, including two tracking detectors in sequence on a first side of an object to be imaged, two tracking detectors in sequence on an opposite side of the object to be imaged, a calorimeter, and a computer cluster, wherein the tracking detectors include plastic scintillation fibers. All fibers in the detector system are read out by Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM). A method of imaging an object by emitting protons from a source through two tracking detectors, through and around the object, and through two opposite tracking detectors, detecting energy of the protons with a calorimeter, and imaging the object.
    Type: Grant
