In vivo and predictive interplay evaluation methodology for lung and esophageal cancer patients treated in free breathing with IMPT
Giorgio Cartechini, Esther Kneepkens, Gloria Vilches-Freixas +5
Purpose: Pencil beam scanning proton therapy is sensitive to respiratory motion, leading to potential dose inhomogeneities due to interplay effects. We developed and validated a pr…
