Particle therapy is a develo** area of radiotherapy, mostly involving the use of protons,
neutrons and carbon ions for cancer treatment. The reduction of side effects on healthy …

Purpose The interplay effect between dynamic pencil proton beams and motion of the lung
tumor presents a challenge in treating lung cancer patients in pencil beam scanning (PBS) …

Magnetic resonance guidance in particle therapy has the potential to improve the current
performance of clinical workflows. However, the presence of magnetic fields challenges the …

Objective: We compared radiotherapy plans among helical tomotherapy (HT), volumetric-
modulated arc therapy (VMAT), and intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) for …

Purpose The calculation ability of the newly-proposed accurate beam model, the double
Gaussian-logistic (DG-L) model, was validated in both homogeneous and heterogeneous …

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 …

Background: Breast cancer requires evaluating treatment plans using dosimetric and
biological parameters. Considering radiation dose distribution and tissue response …

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 …

We validated the calculation accuracies and times between the pencil beam algorithm (PBA)
and the Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm in the new proton pencil beam scanning system. Thirty …

This study aimed to compare the treatment plans of x‐ray SBRT and scanning carbon ion
radiation therapy (CIRT) for localized lung tumors, and to evaluate the dose dependence of …
