Collimating individual beamlets in pencil beam scanning proton therapy, a dosimetric investigation

The purpose of this work is to investigate collimating individual proton beamlets from a dosimetric perspective and to introduce a new device concept, the spot scanning aperture (SSA). The SSA consists of a thin aperture with a small cylindrical opening attached to a robotics system, which allows th...
