Free-Breathing–Gated Delivery Can Achieve High-Quality Proton Treatment for Lung Cancer Patients
While 30% of lung cancer patients cannot tolerate breath-hold, free-breathing(FB) proton pencil-beam-scanning(PBS) deliveries compromise target coverage from the interplay effects of large motion. This study presents a novel FB-gated spirometer-based respirat...

GRID-Lattice: A Compact and Robust Proton Lattice Strategy Using a GRID Entrance Beam Pattern
Proton LATTICE radiotherapy (LRT), a spatially fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT), delivers high dose to intratumoral vertices while maintaining low valley dose. Single-field optimization (SFO) is robust in preserving peak-to-valley patterns but may increase en...

Intra-Field Interruption In Pencil Beam Scanning Proton Flash Radiotherapy: Dosimetric Impact and Clinical Solutions
Ultra-high-dose-rate (UHDR) proton irradiation may spare normal tissue (FLASH effect), but PBS proton dose rate is limited by machine constraints (minimum MU/spot and dwell time). Intra-field interruptions can leave sub-threshold MU for remaining delivery, de...
