  • Patent number: 9971048
    Abstract: Disclosed is a proton beam detection device comprising a sensor having optical fiber of an arrangement structure capable of accurately and efficiently detecting proton dose distribution such as bragg peak, spread out bragg peak (SOBP) and symmetry of a therapeutic proton beam emitted in a scattering mode. The proton beam detection device, which detects a proton beam emitted from a proton beam source in a scattering mode, comprises a sensor having a plurality of detection modules including reference optical fiber and detection optical fiber having a length longer than the length of the reference optical fiber, the plurality of detection modules being diagonally arranged in the depth direction along which the proton beam emitted from the proton beam source proceeds.
