abstract = {The electronCT technique is a novel imaging method based on
the multiple Coulomb scattering of electrons of energies in
the range of 100 to 250 MeV. One potential use case lies in
the context of radiation therapy with “very-high energy
electrons” or VHEE. This technique involves using a pencil
beam of electrons and a single detection layer to determine
the beam profile. Electron scattering within a sample
results in a change in the beam profile. This change in
profile is used to scan through the sample to reconstruct
the 2D or 3D tomographic image of the sample. Given that
electrons of similar energies are also used for VHEE-based
radiotherapy, electronCT offers the potential to be used as
an in-situ imaging method just before treatment.
Measurements have been performed at the ARES linear particle
accelerator at an electron energy of 155 MeV using multiple
mouse phantoms as samples and a Timepix3 silicon pixel
detector as the sensor to demonstrate the feasibility of the
technique. Further simulation studies are currently being
conducted using allpix squared simulation tool based on
Geant4 to further validate this method and its
effectiveness. Results from all these studies will be
presented in this contribution.},
