Abstract
At the XI th ICCR, we reported on a methodology for using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to interrogate irradiated Fricke gels in order to display and analyse the proton dose distributions[1]] achievable with the Clatterbridge cyclotron[2], which provides a U.K. national facility for treatment of ocular melanomas.
