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...

Shortages of trained medical physicists persist across Africa. Needs-assessment surveys were utilized to determine trainee interest and medical physics curricular gaps to aid in design of hands-on outreach workshops for the African School of Physics, a severa...

We report the first clinical implementation integrating a 6D upright treatment chair and a vertical CT system for image-guided proton therapy on a synchrotron-based fixed-beamline. This design aims to improve patient workflow and reduce the facility footprint...
