Commissioning a newly developed treatment planning system, VQA Plan, for fast-raster scanning of carbon-ion beams

In this study, we report our experience in commissioning a commercial treatment planning system (TPS) for fast-raster scanning of carbon-ion beams. This TPS uses an analytical dose calculation algorithm, a pencil-beam model with a triple Gaussian form for the lateral-dose distribution, and a beam sp...
