Layout optimization of the beam spot locations scanned by electromagnets in particle beam therapy

This paper presents a layout optimization method of the spot locations of pencil beam scanning for particle beam cancer therapy. With the pencil beam scanning technique, the particle beam is scanned from spot to spot in the tumor by using scanning magnets. To provide clinically ideal dose distributi...
