Independent verification of the dose per monitor unit (MU) to deliver the prescribed dose to a
patient has been a mainstay of radiation oncology quality assurance (QA). We discuss the …

Background and purpose The use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for
performing dose calculations in radiation therapy has been widely investigated as it could …

We present commissioning and validation of Fred, a graphical processing unit (GPU)–
accelerated Monte Carlo code, for two proton beam therapy facilities of different beam line …

Purpose A new medical linear accelerator (linac) platform integrated with helical computed
tomography (CT), the uRT‐linac 506c, was introduced into clinical application in 2019 by …

Purpose The primary fluence of a proton pencil beam exiting the accelerator is enveloped by
a region of secondaries, commonly called “spray”. Although small in magnitude, this spray …
