Imaging Techniques for Proton Range Determination in Proton Therapy
… power ratio (SPR) is required for proton therapy treatment planning. The current standard practice is to map SPR from Hounsfield Unit (HU) values of a single-energy computed tomography (SECT) scan through a stoichiometric calibration technique. This technique is subjected to a variety of factors …
