During carbon ion therapy, lots of positron emitters such as 11C, 15O, 11C are generated in irradiated tissues by nuclear reactions, and can be used to track the carbon beam in the tissue by a positron emission tomography （PET） scanner. In this study, an dual-plate in-room PET scanner has been desig...
