Sharp dose profiles for high precision proton therapy using strongly focused proton beams

Abstract The main objective of radiotherapy is to exploit the curative potential of ionizing radiation while inflicting minimal radiation-induced damage to healthy tissue and sensitive organs. Proton beam therapy has been developed to irradiate the tumor with higher precision and dose conformity com...
