Implementation and Characterization of the Data Acquisition System of a Compton Camera for Prompt Gamma Imaging in Protontherapy by Cairo Pimenta Cheble Caplan PDF Summary

Book Description: Hadrontherapy uses a beam of charged particles (protons or carbon ions) to destroy tumour cells. Compared to conventional radiotherapy hadrontherapy represents a promising technique to treat cancer because of its concentrated dose delivery within the Bragg peak. Monitoring of dose delivery can thus be addressed by verifying the range of the beam particles.CLaRyS, which stands for online control of hadrontherapy by secondary radiation, is a project regrouping several laboratories that aims at improving dose delivery control by imaging the emission of prompt-gamma rays issued from inelastic collisions of the beam particles with target nuclei. This requires to detect prompt-gamma rays using either a mechanical or the electronic collimation resulting from the Compton interactions of the gamma rays in a scatterer.As part of this development, a high-performance and compact Back-End (BE) electronics was developed at CPPM to perform data acquisition from the detectors through 34 optical links of 3 Gb/s. Data are packed and sent to a PC on a 1 Gb/s Ethernet link, guaranteeing 300 Mb/s throughput as specified for the Compton camera by Monte Carlo simulations for a beam intensity of 10 power of 8 proton/s. My thesis work comprised the development of the FPGA firmware for the BE electronics of CLaRyS, while contributing to the development and evaluation of its detection system. Measurements with the collimated camera and beam hodoscope were performed on the 65 MeV proton beam line of the Mediterranean Protontherapy Institute in Nice.
