The rationale of the study is to develop a Compton camera system as a future ion beam range verification device during particle therapy, via prompt gamma imaging. The properties to be investigated are the reconstruction efficiency and accuracy achievable with this system for detecting prompt-γ rays. The Compton camera system described has been tested with a laboratory radioactive Cesium-137 source, in a certain geometrical configuration. The readout system is based on individual spectroscopy (IVIM+VME) electronic modules, digitizing energy and time signals. The data have been analyzed to produce an input for the image reconstruction, performed using the MEGAIib toolkit software.}, title = {Characterization of a Compton camera setup with monolithic LaBr3(Ce) absorber and segmented GAGG scatter detectors}, year = {2018} }
