Analysis of the Rate of Re-planning in Spot-Scanning Proton Therapy

Purpose: Finite proton range affords improved dose conformality of radiation therapy when patient regions-of-interest geometries are well characterized. Substantial changes in patient anatomy necessitate re-planning (RP) to maintain effective, safe treatment. Regularly planned verification scanning...
