This study presents the first clinical implementation of an efficient online daily adaptive proton therapy workflow (DAPT).The DAPT workflow includes awhere aand aare optimized on the planning computed tomography (CT). In the, theis re-optimized on daily images from an in-room CT.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPencil beam scanning proton therapy allows the delivery of highly conformal dose distributions by delivering several thousand pencil beams. These beams have to be individually optimised and accurately delivered requiring a significant quality assurance workload. In this work we describe a toolkit for independent dose calculations developed at Paul Scherrer Institut which allows for dose reconstructions at several points in the treatment workflow.
