A GPU-based Pencil Beam Algorithm for Dose Calculations in Proton Radiation Therapy
Recent developments in radiation therapy have been focused on applications of charged particles, especially protons. Proton therapy can allow higher dose conformality compared to conventional radiation therapy. Over the years several dose calculation methods have been proposed in proton therapy. A c...
