Robust Beam Selection Based on Water Equivalent Thickness Analysis in Passive Scattering Carbon-Ion Radiotherapy for Pancreatic Cancer

Carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) is one of the most effective radiotherapeutic modalities. This study aimed to select robust-beam configurations (BC) by water equivalent thickness (WET) analysis in passive CIRT for pancreatic cancer. The study analyzed 110 computed tomography (CT) images and 600 dose...
