Proton radiography becomes viable for shallow bone structures at 330 MeV, and for deeper structures at 630 MeV. Visibility improves with use of high-Z contrast agents. This modality may be viable at carbon therapy centers with accelerators capable of delivering high energy protons and could be performed with carbon therapy.
