Proton Computed Tomography (pCT) is a new imaging method with a potential for increasing accuracy of treatment planning and patient positioning in hadron therapy. A pCT system based on a silicon tracker and a YAG:Ce calorimeter has been developed within the PRIMA/RDH INFN CSN5 collaboration. Tests under proton beams gave promising results on radiography and tomographic reconstructions. Recent developments are reviewed in this talk.
