1. Modelagem computacional de tomografia com feixe de prótons / Computational modeling of protons tomography
In the present work a preliminary research via computer simulations was made in order to elaborate a prior program for the first experimental pCT setup in Brazil. Proton therapy is a high precise form of a cancer treatment. Treatment planning nowadays is performed basing on X ray Computer Tomography data (CT), alternatively the same procedure could be perfor

2. Computerized tomography with high-energy proton beams: tomographic image reconstruction from computer-simulated data
The use of protons instead of X-rays for computerized tomography (CT) studies has potential advantages, especially for medical applications in proton treatment planning. However, the spatial resolution of proton CT is limited by multiple Coulomb scattering (MCS). We used the Monte Carlo simulation tool GEANT4 to study the resolution achievable with different
