One of the main challenges of utilizing spot‐scanning proton arc therapy (SPArc) is treatment delivery efficiency. Previous studies focus on reducing the number of energy layers by ascending switching to shorten the beam delivery time. However, this is not true of all proton therapy systems. The new energy layer switching system was recently upgraded in the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), which enables a fast energy layer ascending switching (ELAS).
