Popis: The Center for Proton Therapy of the Paul Scherrer Institute has a long history of technical innovation and development in the field of proton therapy and related quality assurance (QA). The second proton pencil beam scanning gantry built at the CPT, Gantry 2, is a state-of-the-art system. The unique integration of QA equipment and detectors within the control system of the gantry allows for fast and detailed measurements. Here we present our latest developments in detection systems, their performance for QA and research capabilities in comparison with their commercial equivalent.
