Proton dose calculation is sensitive to the metal wires, which are placed on the patient's skin during CT simulation to precisely outline the location of surgical scars and the intended radiation treatment field borders. In order to avoid the dose uncertainti...

Breast patients treated with intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) often experience more severe skin dose toxicity compared to those with photon 3DCRT. Here we quantitatively estimated the LET-dependent RBE (LET-RBE) vs clinically used constant RBE=1.1 fo...
