By directly measuring relative stopping power (RSP) with ions, a pixel sensor-based Hi’CT with multi-layer structure reduces the risk of range uncertainty, a major contributor to dose imprecision in ion therapy. With enhanced high-precision imaging capabilities and a fully digital design, Hi’CT can be integrated into compact treatment room, ensuring efficient clinical pre-scanning and positioning verification.
