A Novel Degrader System for Ultra-Fast Beam Delivery In Proton Therapy
Slow energy switching remains a limitation in proton therapy. This study aims to design and optimize an energy degrader system to accelerate layer-to-layer dose delivery in compact proton therapy systems, thereby improving treatment efficiency, outcomes, and...

Radiation Protection and Shielding Assessment of a Gantry-Less Proton Therapy System Retrofit into a Linac Vault
With the advent of pencil beam scanning in proton therapy, the necessity of a gantry has become less compelling. More broadly, gantry-less proton therapy systems offer a potential pathway to reduce system complexity, footprint, and cost, thereby improving pat...
