A novel range-verification method using ionoacoustic wave generated from spherical gold markers for particle-beam therapy: a simulation study

This study proposes a novel alternative range-verification method for proton beam with acoustic waves generated from spherical metal markers. When proton beam is incident on metal markers, most of the resulting pressure waves are confined in the markers because of the large difference in acoustic im...
