To perform comprehensive dosimetric validation of a commercially available independent Monte Carlo (MC)-based secondary dose calculation engine for clinical photon radiotherapy.
This study investigates the feasibility of using two affordable optical surface–imaging technologies to generate detailed 3D maps of the treatment room and patient surface for detecting and mitigating potential collisions between the proton nozzle and the pat...
To measure the neutron-ambient-dose-equivalent (H*(10)) and assess the fetal dose due to secondary neutrons in a gantry-mounted synchrocyclotron proton therapy system when an intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) brain treatment is delivered with the dyna...
Proton plans are often homogenous with minimal hotspots, which may not be ideal for ablative stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). A treatment planning approach for stereotactic body proton therapy (SBPT) is proposed to match the characteristics of phot...
