This is a short conference record (a detailed article will be submitted for peer-reviewed publication after the project will gather the first data) about the iMPACT project, which aims to build a novel pCT scanner for protons of medical energy (200-300 MeV range) designed to improve the current state of the art in protons tracking at all levels: speed, spatial resolution and material budget. Scanning time will be limited to few seconds, the material budget reduced by a factor 4 (respect to micro-strip based detectors) and the spatial resolution pushed down to the 10 μm range mark. Such performance improvements will provide completely new opportunities to apply pCT for both diagnostic and treatment purposes. Together with the performance improvements, cost reduction would result as well, as the proposed detector is based on commercially available technology, opening the way for future commercial implementations of the system.

Abstract

This is a short conference record (a detailed article will be submitted for peer-reviewed publication after the project will gather the first data) about the iMPACT project, which aims to build a novel pCT scanner for protons of medical energy (200-300 MeV range) designed to improve the current state of the art in protons tracking at all levels: speed, spatial resolution and material budget. Scanning time will be limited to few seconds, the material budget reduced by a factor 4 (respect to micro-strip based detectors) and the spatial resolution pushed down to the 10 μm range mark. Such performance improvements will provide completely new opportunities to apply pCT for both diagnostic and treatment purposes. Together with the performance improvements, cost reduction would result as well, as the proposed detector is based on commercially available technology, opening the way for future commercial implementations of the system.
