We will be studying the emission of secondary prompt gamma rays during treatment of a patient with proton beam radiotherapy. We are developing systems to detect the gammas and statistical reconstruction algorithms for producing images of emitted gammas. The computing work will include Monte Carlo modeling or our prototype detection systems and proton radiotherapy treatments and work to improve the efficiency and speed of our reconstruction methods through parallel CPU systems and GPU computing techniques.
