Proton Computed Tomography: a novel calibration approach for proton treatment planning
Proton therapy is a cutting-edge radiotherapy modality offering superior dose localization and reduced damage to healthy tissues, made possible by the unique physical characteristics of protons. Accurate prediction of proton range during treatment planning is critical to its success. However, …

Analysis of 3D and 4D proton treatment planning for hepatic tumors
… 4D liver dose calculations versus standard 3D treatment planning and to investigate the dosimetric gain of gating on radiation dose to normal tissue. 4DCT scans are collected for 25 patients with hepatic tumors treated by proton radiotherapy. The 4D treatment planning process explicitly takes …

Development of A Ct Metal Artifact Management Algorithm For Proton Therapy Planning (Ampp) For Head and Neck Cancer Patients
… algorithm and investigate its improvement in proton treatment planning.</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> The in-house CT metal artifact management method for proton planning (AMPP) uses two angled CT scans to generate a single image set with no metal artifacts posterior to the dental metal …

Imaging Techniques for Proton Range Determination in Proton Therapy
<p>Proton therapy can achieve better sparing of normal tissues than the conventional photon radiation therapy due to proton’s Bragg Peak property. However, to unlock the full potential of protons, accurate prediction of in vivo proton stopping power ratio (SPR) is required for proton therapy …

Robust Treatment Planning and Robustness Evaluation for Proton Therapy of Head and Neck Cancer
Intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) offers superior advantages over conventional photon therapy, by generating high conformal doses to the target volume and improved sparing of the organ at risks (OARs). Besides, robust treatment planning …

Dual Energy Computed to mography For Proton Therapy Treatment Planning
<p>Proton radiation therapy is gaining popularity because of the unique characteristics of its dose distribution, e.g., high dose-gradient at the distal end of the percentage-depth-dose curve (known as the Bragg peak). The high dose-gradient offers the possibility of delivering high dose to the …
