This study aims to develop the first 4pi dynamic proton arc optimization algorithm which searches for efficient arc trajectories in 4pi space, explores the potential dosimetric improvements in multiple disease sites. Then we demonstrate its feasibility throug...
Spot-scanning proton arc (SPArc) therapy combines the physical advantages of proton therapy with continuous arc delivery. However, most current SPArc planning approaches assume static beam delivery and do not account for the synchrocyclotron-based proton ther...
To evaluate the robustness of spot-scanning proton arc therapy (SPArc) to stochastic spot-wise monitor unit (MU) delivery errors.
This study aims to introduce a new SPArc algorithm with a variable tolerance window (SPArc-variable) to further improve plan quality for patients receiving bilateral breast and regional nodal irradiation, by allowing extra energy layers across specific arc tr...
Spot-scanning proton arc therapy(SPArc) delivers pencil beam scanning dose during continuous gantry rotation and its dosimetry depends on the underlying beam model particularly lateral spot size. This study evaluated the impact of spot size on SPArc plan qual...
