To integrate the first nozzle-mounted, quad-camera prompt gamma imaging (PGI) system on a clinical proton therapy gantry and to evaluate its efficacy for proton range verification under realistic treatment delivery conditions.
Lattice radiotherapy (LRT) produces steep vertex–valley gradients, making 2D gamma-based QA insufficient for clinically relevant 3D dose–volume endpoints. We propose an MRI polymer gel–based 3D DVH verification workflow for VMAT-LRT and assess feasibility and...
Proton pencil beam scanning (PBS) offers excellent dose conformity but remains limited by delivery inefficiency associated with energy layer switching time. A programmable energy modulation filter (PEMF) was developed to enable single-energy proton PBS delive...
Secondary radiation from proton therapy can induce activation in beamline components, range shifters, and phantoms/patients. Rapid identification and localization of activated regions are critical for radiation safety, compliance, and workflow efficiency. We...
To commission and clinically implement a robust radiochromic film dosimetry workflow for PBS proton therapy, providing a practical solution for small-field patient-specific QA, in-vivo dose verification, and WET-based range assessment when dedicated in-vivo a...
With the number of proton centers increasing, each facing intermittent downtime or need for renovations. Developing optimal approaches to maintain uninterrupted treatment is essential to preserve clinical outcomes. This study outlines key risk factors, workfl...
To assess dual-layer DECT-derived SPR images for proton therapy by identifying tissue-specific deviations versus SECT, validating discrepancies using measured SPR in biological tissues, and evaluating dosimetric impact of DECT-based robust optimization.
This study proposes a vertex-wise Isodose Structure (IS)-based framework to evaluate the 3D geometric accuracy of Lattice Radiotherapy (LRT) dose distributions by decoupling geometric misalignment from dose-dependent volumetric distortion, enabling vertex-spe...
