abstract = {The electronCT technique is an imaging method based on the
multiple Coulomb scattering of relativistic electrons and
has potential applications in medical and industrial
imaging. It utilizes a pencil beam of electrons in the very
high energy electron (VHEE, 50–250 MeV) range and a single
detection layer for the determination of the beam profile.
The technique constitutes a projectional, two-dimensional
imaging method and thus also qualifies for the tomographic
reconstruction of samples. Given the simplicity of the
technical setup and its location behind the sample, the
electronCT technique has potential synergies with VHEE
radiotherapy, making use of the same electron source for
both treatment and diagnostics and thus being a candidate
for in situ imaging and patient localization. At the same
time, several technical challenges arise from the
measurement technique when applied for the imaging of living
beings. Measurements performed at the ARES linear particle
accelerator at an electron energy of 155 MeV using a mouse
phantom and a Timepix3 silicon pixel detector assembly
demonstrate the feasibility of this technique. Both
projectional and tomographic reconstructions are presented
and the potential and limits of the technology are
discussed.},
