Abstract
A device () and a method for monitoring a treatment of a body part () of a patient () with a beam () comprising particles () are disclosed. Herein, the device () comprises—a beam delivering unit () designated for delivering a beam () comprising particles () and adjusting a direction () of propagation of the beam () onto a body part () of a patient (); and—a verification unit () designated for verifying a range and a dose delivery of the particles () provided by the beam () to the body part () of the patient () by determining information about prompt-gamma radiation () generated by an interaction of the particles () with the body part () of the patient () at at least two individual interaction points (), wherein the verification unit () comprises a symmetry axis () which is symmetrical with respect to the at least two individual interaction points () and which is located perpendicular with respect to the direction () of the propagation of the beam (). The device () and the method may be used in the field of particle therapy, specifically for verifying a range and a dose delivery of the particles () provided by the beam () to the body part () of a patient (), especially towards a tumorous tissue of the patient ().
