Abstract
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining actual points along a positively charged particle beam path and/or vectors of the charged particle beam path, where the determined points and vectors aid tomographic construction of a three-dimensional image of a tumor and surrounding tissue. Further, the determined points and vectors of the positively charged particle beam are used in beam control safety, to modify a tumor treatment plan in real time, and/or in combination with co-gathered X-ray images to form a hybrid proton tomography—X-ray three-dimensional image. Preferably, common elements, such as an injector, accelerator, beam transport system, and/or patient positioning system are used for both tumor treatment and tumor imaging.
