A Comprehensive Comparative Study of Proton Flash Techniques for Conformal Pencil Beam Scanning Radiotherapy: Pristine Bragg Peak Vs. Spread-out Bragg Peak

The spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP) technique uses ridge filters to broaden the depth-dose profile, producing a dose distribution similar to a single-field-uniform(SFU) approach. In contrast, the single-energy pristine Bragg peak(SEPBP) approach relies on range...

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...
