Analytical investigation of magnetic field effects on Proton lateral deflection and penetrating depth in the water phantom: A relativistic approach
Background: Integrated proton therapy - MRI systems are capable of delivering high doses to the target tissues near sensitive organs and achieve better therapeutic results; however, the applied magnetic field for imaging, influences the protons path, changes the penetration depth and deflects the...
