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) …

This study reports the investigation of different GEANT4 settings for proton therapy
applications in the context of Treatment Planning System comparisons. The GEANT4. 9.2 …

Active scanning delivery systems take full advantage of ion beams to best conform to the
tumor and to spare surrounding healthy tissues; however, it is also a challenging technique …

We propose a method of creating and validating a Monte Carlo (MC) model of a proton
Pencil Beam Scanning (PBS) machine using only commissioning measurements and …

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 To perform the validation of the GPU-based (Graphical Processing Unit based)
proton Monte Carlo (MC) dose engine implemented in a commercial TPS (RayStation 10B) …

Monte Carlo (MC)‐based dose calculations are generally superior to analytical dose
calculations (ADC) in modeling the dose distribution for proton pencil beam scanning (PBS) …

Scanned proton pencil beams carry a low-dose envelope that extends several centimeters
from the individual beam's central axis. Thus, the total delivered dose depends on the size of …

Respiratory induced organ motion poses a major challenge for high-precision radiotherapy
such as pencil beam scanning proton therapy (PBS). In order to employ PBS for target …

Purpose: In this report, we present the commissioning and validation results for a
commercial proton pencil beam scanning RayStation treatment planning system. Materials …
