Proton computed tomography (pCT) is an advanced imaging technique that utilizes protons instead of traditional X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of objects, particularly in the context of medical imaging. This method leverages the interactions between protons and matter, providing unique advantages when it comes to imaging tissues, especially for cancer treatment and radiation therapy planning. Key characteristics of proton computed tomography include: 1. **Proton Sources**: pCT typically employs proton beams generated by particle accelerators.
