Intrafraction tumor motion monitoring and dose reconstruction for liver pencil beam scanning proton therapy

Intrafraction tumor motion monitoring and dose reconstruction for liver pencil beam scanning proton therapy

BackgroundPencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy can provide highly conformal target dose distributions and healthy tissue sparing. However, proton therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is prone to dosimetrical uncertainties induced by respiratory motion. This study aims to develop intra-trea...
