Abstract

In this work, we analyse the proton paths inference for the construction of CT imagery based on a new proton CT proton system, which can record multiple proton paths/residual energies. Based on the recorded paths of multiple protons, every proton path is inferred. The inferred proton paths can then be used for the residual energies detection and CT imagery construction for analyzing a specific tissue. Different regression methods (linear regression and Gaussian process regression models) are exploited for the path inference of every proton in this work. The studies on a
recorded proton trajectories dataset show that the Gaussian process regression method achieves better accuracies for the path inference, from both path assignment accuracy and root mean square errors (RMSEs) studies.
