Quantum Beam Imaging Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses scintillators, which glow when exposed to radiation, to monitor particle beam therapy.
AboutAbout the lab
Checking the particle beam on the spot, during treatment
The Quantum Beam Imaging Engineering Lab studies radiation detection devices and the scintillators used as their materials.
Its current focus is developing a detector that confirms during treatment whether the particle beam is hitting the treatment site in particle beam therapy for cancer.
The lab is building a scintillation fiber detector that captures the secondary protons generated during carbon-ion therapy.
It is also developing scintillators to be mounted on the detector and carrying out evaluation through simulation.
Project Assistant Professor Akihiro Yamaji is searching for scintillator crystals that emit near-infrared light, which is easy to read out through optical fibers, so that radiation can be measured even under high temperatures and intense radiation.
Key terms
- Scintillator
- A phosphor that converts radiation such as X-rays into light, such as ultraviolet or visible light, that a photodetector can detect.
- Particle beam therapy
- A type of radiation therapy for cancer. It is said to place less burden on patients than therapies that use X-rays and the like.
- Secondary protons
- Protons generated during carbon-ion therapy. They may make it possible to trace the treatment site, and the lab is investigating whether they can be used for verification during treatment.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies scintillators and the radiation detection devices that use them. To increase the reliability of particle beam therapy, it is developing a detector that monitors the treatment position in real time during treatment.
