Spatial Agreement of Brainstem Dose Distributions Depending on Biological Model in Proton Therapy for Pediatric Brain Tumors

Spatial Agreement of Brainstem Dose Distributions Depending on Biological Model in Proton Therapy for Pediatric Brain Tumors

Purpose: During radiation therapy for pediatric brain tumors, the brainstem is a critical organ at risk, possibly with different radio-sensitivity across its substructures. In proton therapy, treatment planning is currently performed using a constant relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of 1.1 (R...
