Abstract:Objective:
To experimentally validate two online adaptive proton therapy (APT) workflows using Gafchromic EBT3 films and optically stimulated luminescent dosimeters (OSLDs) in an anthropomorphic head-and-neck phantom.
Approach:
A three-field proton plan was optimized on the planning CT of the head-and-neck phantom with 2.0 Gy(RBE) per fraction prescribed to the clinical target volume. Four fractions were simulated by varying the internal anatomy of the phantom. Three distinct methods we… Show more
