Treatment parameters optimization to compensate for interfractional anatomy variability and intrafractional tumor motion

Treatment parameters optimization to compensate for interfractional anatomy variability and intrafractional tumor motion

Scanned ion beam therapy of lung tumors is severely limited in its clinical applicability by intrafractional organ motion, interference effects between beam and tumor motion (interplay) as well as interfractional anatomic changes. To compensate for dose deterioration by intrafractional motion, motio...
