Abstract: Particle therapy can achieve excellent dose localization but is sensitive to range uncertainty. Therefore, online in vivo range verification before treatment is critical for treatment safety and quality assurance. We introduce a novel range-probing technique… read more here.

Abstract: PURPOSE Proton therapy is affected by range uncertainty, which is partly caused by an ambiguous conversion from x-ray attenuation to proton stopping power. CT calibration curves, or Hounsfield look-up tables (HLUTs), are institution-specific and may… read more here.
