The clinical advantages of particle therapy will be briefly covered with examples taken from the literature. Examples of motivations for in-vivo monitoring of particle and photon radiotherapy will be shown. The in-beam and offline PET technique will be presented, as well as the prompt gamma opportunity to monitor particle therapy (one simulated technique will be shown: the multi-slat camera). Imaging of patient scattered radiation to monitor megavoltage X-ray radiotherapy will also be presented with both simulation and experimental results shown
