Objective. Computed tomography (CT) to material property conversion dominates proton
range uncertainty, impacting the quality of proton treatment planning. Physics-based and …

Accurate radiation dose calculation is essential for successful proton radiotherapy. Monte
Carlo (MC) simulation is considered to be the most accurate method. However, the long …

The accuracy of radiotherapy dose calculation relies crucially on patient composition data.
The computed tomography (CT) calibration methods based on the stoichiometric calibration …

This work proposes a generic method for modeling scanned ion beam delivery systems,
without simulation of the treatment nozzle and based exclusively on beam data library (BDL) …

PURPOSE: To calculate the linear energy transfer (LET) distributions in patients undergoing
proton therapy. These distributions can be used to identify areas of elevated or diminished …

This paper presents the first demonstration of deeply penetrating dose delivery using
focused very high energy electron (VHEE) beams using quadrupole magnets in Monte Carlo …

The purpose of this work was to compare the clinical adaptation of prompt gamma (PG)
imaging and positron emission tomography (PET) as independent tools for non-invasive …

Precision medicine is becoming the standard of care in anti-cancer treatment. The
personalized precision management of cancer patients highly relies on the improvement of …

As carbon ions, at therapeutic energies, penetrate tissue, they undergo inelastic nuclear
reactions and give rise to significant yields of secondary fragment fluences. Therefore, an …

Relative motion between a tumor and a scanning proton beam results in a degradation of
the dose distribution (interplay effect). This study investigates the relationship between beam …
