An experiment has been performed to demonstrate the feasibility of proton computed tomography. The proton energy loss was used to measure the projections of the relative stopping power of the phantom. High quality reconstructions were obtained from scans of 19 cm and 30 cm diameter performance phantoms. Comparison with reconstructions from an EMI CT-5005 X-ray scanner showed the proton technique is more dose efficient by a large factor.
