Analysing the effect of a cranium thickness on a Bragg peak range in the proton therapy: a TRIM and GEANT4 based study
Cancer treatment with proton therapy, starting in 1946, continues with the treatment of 200,000 patients worldwide as of 2020. The energy release of protons in tissue and tissue equivalent (water) material is shown by Bragg Curves. The main reason why proton beams are preferred in radiotherapy is th...
