Towards Effective and Efficient Patient-Specific Quality Assurance for Spot Scanning Proton Therapy

Towards Effective and Efficient Patient-Specific Quality Assurance for Spot Scanning Proton Therapy

An intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) program based on measurement alone can be very time consuming due to the highly modulated dose distributions of IMPT fields. Incorporating independent dose calculation and treatment log file analysis could reduce...
