In the first part, the field size\ndependence of the dose output is described for scanned proton beams. Both the\nMonte Carlo and an analytical computational beam model were able to accurately\npredict target dose, while the latter tends to overestimate dose in normal\ntissue. In the second part, the author presents PET measurements of different\nphantom materials, which were activated by the proton beam. The results\nindicate that for an irradiation with a high number of protons for the sake of\ngood statistics, dead time losses of the PET scanner may become important and\nlead to an underestimation of positron-emitter production yields.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer Spektrum\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-06-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783658131678\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-658-13168-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 86\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47675025227916,"sku":"9783658131678","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783658131678.jpg?v=1776539716","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783658131678","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
