Abstract

A method for controlling the quality of heavy ion tumour therapy by means of positron emission tomography is introduced. It registers the dynamic spatial distribution of β+-emitters produced by nuclear fragmentation during the fractionated irradiations. It is non-invasive, needs no radioactive isotopes, is performed in-situ at the treatment place and provides a feedback for the therapist. Results of phantom experiments with 12C ion beams will be presented.
