Cover Story: Proton therapy offers highly conformal radiation therapy at various tumor sites. To reach its full potential and spare healthy tissue, uncertainties in the proton range inside the patient must be reduced as much as possible. One source of such uncertainty is inter-fractional anatomical changes in the patient. Adaptive proton therapy aims to detect these changes and adjust the treatment plan at the start of each treatment day. One way to trigger re-planning is to take a proton radiography image of the treatment region. We present the Two-Plane Imaging System, based on two thin silicon pixel-detector modules originally designed for particle tracking in the ATLAS experiment at CERN. The images obtained with this system show its potential for adaptive proton therapy. View this paper
