An Adaptive Proton FLASH Therapy Using Modularized Pin Ridge Filter
Ahmal Jawad Zafar, Xiaofeng Yang, Zachary Diamond +4
In this paper, we proposed a method to optimize adaptive proton FLASH therapy (ADP FLASH) using modularized pin ridge filters (pRFs) by recycling module pins from the initial plan…
