Motion-related effects remain a critical source of uncertainty in proton and carbon ion therapy. Sharp dose gradients, combined with the inherent sensitivity of the particle range, make dose delivery particularly susceptible to temporal variations. This syste...
Proton radiography (pRad) has long been proposed to reduce range uncertainties by providing patient-specific stopping power information. Recent developments in proton therapy delivery, including shoot-through beam techniques and upright patient positioning, r...
Respiratory motion during proton therapy introduces uncertainties that can lead to dose inhomogeneities, primarily due to the interplay between tumor motion and spot-scanning beam delivery. Understanding and predicting this effect is essential for robust trea...
Accurate prediction of beam delivery time (BDT) is essential for operational efficiency, 4D dose calculations, and advanced proton therapy techniques such as proton arc therapy. Despite its importance, no machine-specific BDT model currently exists for Mevion...
