The use of scanned proton beams in external beam radiation therapy has seen a rapid
development over the past decade. This technique places new demands on treatment …

Purpose The purpose of the current study was threefold:(a) investigate the impact of the
variations (errors) in spot sizes in robustly optimized pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton …

Purpose The purpose of the current study is to (i) investigate the feasibility of utilizing the
XRV-124–a cone-shaped scintillation detector–to measure the spot size and spot position in …

Objective Side effects of radiation therapy may include skin damage. The surface dose is of
great interest and contains the buildup effect. In particular, the proton therapy community …

Intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) planning for the head and neck (HN) cancer often
requires the use of the range shifter, which can increase the lateral penumbrae of the pencil …

The purpose of this study was to parametrize the in-air one sigma spot size for various
energies and air gaps in pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy. The current study …

Purpose/background The aim of this study was to evaluate pencil beam scanning (PBS)
proton therapy (PT) in deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) for mediastinal lymphoma …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the proton beam matching for a multi-room
ProteusPLUS pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy system and quantify the …

Abstract Proteus-ONE (P-ONE) is a novel compact single-room system developed by Ion
Beam Application (IBA, Belgium) for proton therapy. The objective of this research was to …

The clinical properties of a proton beam depend on how the beam is intended to be used
clinically. To better understand the basic properties of the beam from a clinical perspective …
