The influence of dual-energy computed tomography image noise in proton therapy treatment planning

Background and purpose: In proton therapy, a 3.5% margin is often used to account for proton range uncertainties, of which computed tomography (CT) image noise is assumed to contribute 0.5%. This work evaluates the noise-sensitivity of three dual-energy computed tomography (DECT)-based methods for m...
