Adaptive Proton Therapy of Pediatric Head and Neck Cases Using MRI-Based Synthetic CTs: Initial Experience of the Prospective KiAPT Study

Adaptive Proton Therapy of Pediatric Head and Neck Cases Using MRI-Based Synthetic CTs: Initial Experience of the Prospective KiAPT Study

Background and Purpose: Interfractional anatomical changes might affect the outcome of proton therapy (PT). We aimed to prospectively evaluate the role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) based adaptive PT for children with tumors of the head and neck and base of skull. Methods: MRI verification ima...
