Abstract
Monte Carlo simulation was performed to investigate optimal system of proton computed tomography and to avoid the errors by using data from X ray computed tomography in proton therapy. The informations from two DSSDs to measure position and LYSO scintillation detector to measure the residual energy of proton particle in GEANT4 were used for reconstruction computed tomography.
