Shoot-through layers in upright proton arcs unlock advantages in plan quality and range verification
Erik Engwall, Victor Mikhalev, Johan Sundström +2
Background: Upright proton therapy with compact delivery systems has the potential to reduce costs for treatments but could also lead to broadening of the beam penumbra due to ener…
