  • 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
    Filed: June 30, 2014
    Date of Patent: September 22, 2015
    Assignees: Board of Trustees of Northern Illinois University, Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, University of Wollongong
    Inventors: Nicholas Karonis, George Coutrakon, Kirk Duffin, Bela Erdelyi, Kevin Naglich, Scott Penfold, Paul Rubinov, Victor Rykalin, Vishnu Zutshi
