Real-Time proton beam tracking could sharpen cancer therapy
NCT ID NCT07450560
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new way to monitor proton therapy for solid tumors. A full-digital PET scanner tracks the proton beam's path and dose in real time. Thirty patients scheduled for proton therapy will participate. The goal is to improve treatment accuracy by seeing exactly where the beam delivers energy.
