Dosimetric Deviations of Bragg-Peak Position Shifts in Uniform Magnetic Fields for Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guiding Proton Radiotherapy: A Monte Carlo Study
Objective: To investigate dosimetric deviations in scanning protons for Bragg-peak position shifts, which were caused by proton spiral tracks in an ideal uniform field of magnetic resonance (MRI) imaging-guided proton radiotherapy (MRI-IGPRT).Methods: The FLUKA Monte-Carlo (MC) code was used to simu...
