Monte-Carlo-based 4D robust optimization using physical and temporal uncertainties for intensity-modulated proton therapy
Mark D. Pepin, Erik Tryggestad, Hok Seum Wan Chan Tseung +5
Purpose: Respiratory motion and the interplay effect cause the dose delivered to a patient with spot-scanned proton therapy to differ from the dose planned for during optimization.…

A Monte-Carlo-based and GPU-accelerated 4D-dose calculator for a pencil-beam scanning proton therapy system
Mark D. Pepin, Erik Tryggestad, H. Wan Chan Tseung +3
Purpose: The presence of respiratory motion during radiation treatment leads to degradation of the expected dose distribution, both for target coverage and healthy-tissue sparing,…
