Proton arc therapy (PAT) faces two key challenges: minimizing treatment delivery time and eliminating gantry rotation velocity fluctuations. To address these, this study proposes a novel workflow that enables true dynamic arc delivery.
Spot-scanning proton arc (SPArc) therapy combines the physical advantages of proton therapy with continuous arc delivery. However, most current SPArc planning approaches assume static beam delivery and do not account for the synchrocyclotron-based proton ther...
To evaluate the impact of respiratory motion on dose distribution and spatial modulation in VMAT-based Lattice Spatially Fractionated Radiotherapy(Lattice-SFRT), and to evaluate the stability of peak–valley dose characteristics using four-dimensional(4D) dose...
This study assessed the impact of machine-specific delivery sequence in quantifying interplay effects for lung stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) between two proton therapy modalities, intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) and spot-scanning proton arc...
This study aims to introduce a new SPArc algorithm with a variable tolerance window (SPArc-variable) to further improve plan quality for patients receiving bilateral breast and regional nodal irradiation, by allowing extra energy layers across specific arc tr...
This study aimed to develop a novel optimization framework for spot-scanning proton arc therapy (SPArc) to simultaneously achieve highly uniform beam delivery time (BDT) across control points, improved delivery efficiency, and optimal dose distribution.
