Robust treatment planning in scanned carbon-ion radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer: Clinical verification using in-room computed tomography images

PurposeCarbon-ion beam (C-beam) has a sharp dose distribution called the Bragg peak. Carbon-ion radiation therapy, such as stereotactic body radiotherapy in photon radiotherapy, can be completed in a short period by concentrating the radiation dose on the tumor while minimizing the dose to organs at...
