To apply a proton procedure of optimizing spot weight and Ridge Filter (RF) to single-energy carbon pencil beam and evaluate it in a water phantom with a square-shape target in the center (prescription dose 50 Gy).
To develop an optimization procedure of spot weight and ridge filter (RF) dimension for single-energy proton pencil beam and apply it to a water phantom with a square-shape target in the center (prescription dose 50 Gy).
Pin-ridge filters (pRFs) have emerged as a promising hardware-based approach for ultrafast proton beam delivery through upstream proton fluence modulation. While pRF-based planning techniques having been explored computationally, experimental implementation h...
