Hadron therapy (HT) is a technique used in cancer treatment that consists in
the irradiation of tumours using light ions or protons instead of photons. HT
treatment monitoring in real-time is one of the main challenges addressed
nowadays. The IRIS group (http://ific.uv.es/iris) at IFIC-Valencia is
developing a Compton telescope with this purpose. The system is made of
three LaBr3 detector planes coupled to silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs).
A first prototype (MACACO: Medical Applications CompAct COmpton
camera) was successfully developed, with promising results. A second
version has been developed with the aim of improving the system
performance, including new detectors for the first two planes and an
improved image reconstruction code, improving significantly the
performance tests in laboratory and accelerator facilities. The performance
improvement of MACACO II was verified through experimental tests. In
addition, Monte Carlo simulations were made with GATE v 7.0 getting a
good correlation with the experimental measurements. In this poster we
present results corresponding to the two-layer layout with the new detectors.
