Simultaneous Multiple Liver Metastasis Treated with Pencil Beam Proton Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)

Simultaneous Multiple Liver Metastasis Treated with Pencil Beam Proton Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)

Compared with photon stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) plans that may have to use many more penetrating x-ray beams for each isocenter, proton SBRT with ultrahypofractionated doses use fewer beam angles and offer significantly reduced low-dose radiation bath to normal liver tissue. We demonstrat...
