“…Three beams were applied with beam angles 0 The proton beam data were taken from the synchrocyclotron at the The Svedberg laboratory with an initial proton energy of 180 MeV (Montelius et al 1991). The treatment planning system was the Helax-TMS TM version 6.0 SP2 (Nucletron Scandinavia AB, Uppsala, Sweden) (Jung et al 1997). The proton algorithm includes range straggling corrections and heterogeneity corrections based on the slab approximation (Russell et al 2000).…”

“…Hence, the dose model framework must be general enough to include the influence on dose and beam properties from general beam set-ups and modulations, and also be able to follow the particle transport to the portal image plane with adequate details. Jung et al (1997) have studied the clinical workflow and developed design principles to meet logistic demands. As an example it was stated that it should be possible to perform the different tasks in a natural, and as far as possible, arbitrary order.…”

“…In order to obtain good precision in beam optimization, CT sections were 2 mm thick. The dose planning was carried out with a commercial treatment planning system (Helax, Uppsala, Sweden) with pencil beam algorithms for proton beam dose calculations (16, 17). The target volume, i.e.…”
