Design and Optimization of a Novel Translating Checkerboard Range Shifter to Enable Efficient Proton Arc Therapy
Clinical implementation of proton arc therapy is partly hindered by the low speed of beam energy switching upstream of the nozzle. To achieve fast and multiple post-nozzle energies, we propose a novel range shifter, termed the Checkerboard Range Shifter (CRS)...
