title = "Design and construction of the 1st proton CT scanner",
abstract = "This paper discusses the design and operation of the 1st proton CT scanner for 3D imaging. Reduction of proton range uncertainties and improved dose accuracy in the patient for treatment planning are central goals. A central CT slice acquired by reconstruction of 134 million proton tracks through a 14 cm spherical polystyrene phantom with high and low density inserts is presented. {\textcopyright} 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.",
