The Phase I Proton CT Scanner and Test Beam Results at LLUMC, invited.

Loma Linda University, in collaboration with Northern Illinois University and UC Santa Cruz, has built and tested a pre-clinical prototype proton CT (pCT) scanner based on a design presented previously [1]. The system is designed for scanning of head-sized phantoms and small animals. This report presents some of our preliminary test results for the scanner installed on the research beam line at Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC).
