A 5-Year Togetherness Success Story of a Multi-Institutional Journal Club Among Therapeutic Medical Physics Residents
A multi-institutional journal club (MIJC) was introduced by the AAPM’s Working Group on Multi-Institutional Journal Clubs for Residency Programs (WGJCRP) in 2021. As of 2022, 40% of therapy programs were participating. The MIJC program was intended to connect...

A Non-Brass-Aperture Planning Approach for Palliative Spatially Fractionated Proton Therapy on a Compact Proton System
In the Phase I clinical trial (NCT05831579), we already performed the palliative spatially fractionated (GRID) proton therapy by using a collimating brass aperture. However, the existence of this brass aperture limits the flexibility of the high dose regions...

A Predictive Irradiation Time Calculator for Pencil Beam Scanning Proton Therapy
In proton therapy treatment planning, several free parameters impact both plan quality and delivery time. These include spot and energy layer spacing, MU per spot or layer, and in some systems, utilization of adaptive apertures (AA). Decreasing delivery time...

A Gaussian-Based Planning Approach for Robust Dose-Escalated Stereotactic Body Proton Therapy
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...
