N2 - We report progress on a feasibility study of Proton Computed Tomography and Proton Transmission Radiography for applications in treatment planning and patient positioning for proton radiation therapy. We analyzed data from proton transmission studies through a hollow aluminum cylinder taken with a telescope of silicon detectors with very high spatial and good energy resolution. In addition, we explored the usefulness of applying a cut on the angular divergence of the transmitted beam in a GEANT4 simulation study.
