FLASH-enabled Proton SBRT for a challenging case of spine metastasis
S. Wuyckens, M. Chocan Vera, R. Nilsson +5
The FLASH effect, characterized by potential sparing of organs at risk (OAR) through ultra-high dose rate irradiation, has garnered significant attention for its capability to addr…
Proton arc therapy plan optimization with energy layer pre-selection driven by organ at risk sparing and delivery time
S. Wuyckens, G. Janssens, M. Chocan Vera +5
Objective. As proton arc therapy (PAT) approaches clinical implementation, optimizing treatment plans for this innovative delivery modality remains challenging, especially in addre…
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…
A dosimetric and robustness analysis of Proton Arc Therapy (PAT) with Early Energy Layer and Spot Assignment (ELSA) for lung cancer versus conventional Intensity modulated therapy (IMPT)
Macarena S. Chocan, Sophie Wuyckens, Damien Dasnoy +6
Background and purpose: IMPT faces challenges in lung cancer treatment, like maintaining plan robustness for moving tumors against setup, range errors, and interplay effects. Proto…
