This section summarizes the activities related to therapy by radiation (RT), not only conventional RT by photon beams, but also hadrontherapy (proton, carbon ion beams) and Targeted Radionuclide Therapy (TRT) or internal RT. In particular, we focus on imaging in RT, both pre-treatment for planning and per- or post-treatment for monitoring purpose. Those activities are heavily based on the development of numerical simulations but are also linked to inverse problems and reconstruction methods described in the previous sections. The strong long-term collaboration with IPNL is on-going, which allows to go back and forth between simulation and instrumental experiments. Almost all of the developed methods are integrated into the software platforms developed in the team: Gate, RTK and Coresi. :
