Objective. Imaging of optical photons emitted from tissue during radiotherapy is a promising technique for real-time visualization of treatment delivery, offering applications in dose verification, treatment monitoring, and retrospective treatment plan comparison. This research aims to explore the feasibility of intensified imaging of tissue luminescence during proton therapy (PT), under both conventional and ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) conditions.Approach. Conventional and UHDR pencil beam scanning (PBS) PT irradiation of freshex vivoporcine tissue and tissue-mimicking plastic phantom was imaged using intensified complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor(CMOS) cameras. The optical emission from tissue was characterized during conventional irradiation using both blue and red-sensitive intensifiers to ensure adequate spectral coverage. Spectral characterization was performed using bandpass filters between the lens and sensor. Imaging of conventional proton fields (240 MeV, 10 nA) was performed at 100 Hz frame rate, while UHDR PBS proton delivery (250 MeV, 99 nA) was recorded at 1 kHz frame rate. Dependence of optical emission yield on proton energy was studied using an optical tissue-mimicking plastic phantom and a range shifter. Finally, we demonstrated fast beam tracking capability of fast camera towardsin vivomonitoring of FLASH PT.Main results. Under conventional treatment dose rates optical emission was imaged with single spot resolution. Spot profiles were found to agree with the treatment planning system calculation within >90% for all spectral bands and spot intensity was found to vary with spectral filtration. The resultant polychromatic emission presented a maximum intensity at 650 nm and decreasing signal at lower wavelengths, which is consistent with expected attenuation patterns of high fat and muscle tissue. For UHDR beam imaging, optical yield increased with higher proton energy. Imaging at 1 kHz allowed continuous monitoring of delivery during porcine tissue irradiation, with clear identification of individual dwell positions. The number of dwell positions matched the treatment plan in total and per row showing adequate temporal capability of iCMOS imaging.Significance. For the first time, this study characterizes optical emission from tissue during PT and demonstrates our capability of fast optical tracking of pencil proton beam on the tissue anatomy in both conventional and UHDR setting. Similar to the Cherenkov imaging in radiotherapy, this imaging modality could enable a seamless, independent validation of PT treatments.
