Comparison of proton, helium-ion, and carbon-ion CT imaging for hadron radiotherapy using Monte Carlo simulations.

OBJECTIVE To perform a comprehensive comparative analysis of proton, helium-ion, and carbon-ion computed tomography (CT) as direct imaging modalities for hadron therapy treatment planning, focusing on Relative Stopping Power (RSP) reconstruction accuracy and patient radiation dose. Approach: High-fidelity Monte Carlo s...
