The aim of this study was to investigate the absorbed dose and the linear energy transfer (LET) of a scanning proton pencil beam at the Proton Therapy Center Czech, applied to phantoms containing metal implants. We investigated two different phantoms composed of commonly used metals with a known chemical composition. Two rectangular phantoms consisted of water-equivalent environment material with a 65 mm thickness surrounding the 2, 5, 10 and 15 mm inserts of grade-2 and grade-5 Titanium.
