DynamicARC is a pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy technique designed to improve delivery efficiency and plan quality. This study evaluated how energy layer spacing (ELS) affects target coverage, dose homogeneity, and organ-at-risk (OAR) sparing in lun...

To evaluate the feasibility of treating a large superficial skin (scalp) cancer target with a 3-field static IMPT technique and to assess the potential impact of elevated LET in high-dose regions.
To quantify the impact of a prostate motion model on target robustness under setup and range uncertainty, and to evaluate whether anatomical robust optimization improves robustness while maintaining nominal OAR constraint compliance.
Deep-learning (DL) auto-segmentation may improve efficiency in head-and-neck (HN) planning, but clinical use depends on how consistently experts judge contour acceptability and how performance varies by organ. We evaluated a DL-based auto-segmentation system...
To compare head-and-neck (HN) IMPT robustness using a conventional systematic setup uncertainty model versus a probabilistic random (interfractional) setup uncertainty model.
