    • The Backscatter Gating method for time, energy, and position resolution characterization of long form factor organic scintillators 

      Ratliff, Hunter Nathaniel; Kögler, Toni; Pausch, Guntram; Setterdahl, Lena Marie; Skjerdal, Kyrre; Turko, Joseph A.; Meric, Ilker (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      This work details a Compton-scattering-based methodology, referred to as Backscatter Gating (BSG), for characterizing the time, energy, and position resolutions of long form factor organic scintillators using a single, ...

    • Characterization of organic glass scintillator bars and their potential for a hybrid neutron/gamma ray imaging system for proton radiotherapy range verification 

      Turko, J.; Beyer, R.; Junghans, A.; Meric, Ilker; Mueller, S.; Pausch, G.; Ratliff, Hunter Nathaniel; Römer, K.; Schellhammer, S.; Setterdahl, Lena Marie; Urlass, S.; Wagner, A.; Kögler, T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      For accurate and simultaneous imaging of fast neutrons (FNs) and prompt gamma rays (PGs) produced during proton therapy, the selection of a highly performant detector material is crucial. In this work, a promising candidate ...

    • A hybrid multi-particle approach to range assessment-based treatment verification in particle therapy 

      Meric, Ilker; Alagoz, Enver; Hysing, Liv Bolstad; Kögler, Toni; Lathouwers, Danny; Lionheart, William R. B.; Mattingly, John; Obhodas, Jasmina; Pausch, Guntram; Pettersen, Helge Egil Seime; Ratliff, Hunter Nathaniel; Rovituso, Marta; Schellhammer, Sonja M.; Setterdahl, Lena Marie; Skjerdal, Kyrre; Sterpin, Edmond; Sudac, Davorin; Turko, Joseph A.; Ytre-Hauge, Kristian Smeland (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Particle therapy (PT) used for cancer treatment can spare healthy tissue and reduce treatment toxicity. However, full exploitation of the dosimetric advantages of PT is not yet possible due to range uncertainties, warranting ...

    • Image Reconstruction for Proton Therapy Range Verification via U-NETs 

      Setterdahl, Lena Marie; Lionheart, William R. B.; Holman, Sean F.; Skjerdal, Kyrre; Ratliff, Hunter Nathaniel; Ytre-Hauge, Kristian Smeland; Lathouwers, Danny; Meric, Ilker (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      This study aims to investigate the capability of U-Nets in improving image reconstruction accuracy for proton range verification within the framework of the NOVO (Next generation imaging for real-time dose verification ...
