Investigation of the impact of machine operating parameters on beam delivery time and its correlation with treatment plan characteristics for synchrotron-based proton pencil beam spot scanning system

PurposeTo investigate the beam delivery time (BDT) reduction due to the improvement of machine parameters for Hitachi synchrotron-based proton PBS system.MethodsBDTs for representative treatment plans were calculated to quantitatively estimate the BDT improvement from our 2015 system at Mayo Clinic...
