Efficient proton arc optimization and delivery through energy layer pre-selection and post-filtering
S. Wuyckens, V. Wase, O. Marthin +7
Proton arc therapy (PAT) has emerged as a promising approach for improving dose distribution, but also enabling simpler and faster treatment delivery in comparison to conventional…
Beamlet-free optimization for Monte Carlo based treatment planning in proton therapy
D. Pross, S. Wuyckens, S. Deffet +3
Background: Dose calculation and optimization algorithms in proton therapy treatment planning often have high computational requirements regarding time and memory. This can hinder…
Optimization of pencil beam scanning pattern for FLASH proton therapy
Sylvain Deffet, Edmond Sterpin
Purpose: The FLASH effect, which reduces the radiosensitivity of healthy tissue while maintaining tumor control at high dose rates, has shown potential for improving radiation ther…
Optimization of patient-specific range modulators for conformal FLASH proton therapy
Sylvain Deffet, Kevin Souris, Edmond Sterpin
Purpose: A promising approach to enable FLASH conformal proton therapy is to passively degrade a single energy layer using a patient-specific range modulator. We propose an innovat…
Definition of dose rate for FLASH pencil-beam scanning proton therapy: A comparative study
Sylvain Deffet, Valentin Hamaide, Edmond Sterpin
Purpose: Highlight the distinctions, both in terms of concept and numerical values, of the various definitions that can be established for the dose rate in PBS proton therapy. Meth…
OpenTPS -- Open-source treatment planning system for research in proton therapy
S. Wuyckens, D. Dasnoy, G. Janssens +9
Introduction. Treatment planning systems (TPS) are an essential component for simulating and optimizing a radiation therapy treatment before administering it to the patient. It ens…
