Range Verification in Particle Therapy: Precision and Treatment Planning
In particle therapy, ensuring precise range measurements is crucial for developing robust treatment plans. This involves inter-comparing predicted treatment planning system (TPS) results with experimental data, combining different ions and photon beams to mitigate range uncertainties, and evaluating the impact of range shifts on treatment planning. The goal is to establish the minimum precision required for range measuring devices to achieve clinically acceptable outcomes. Explore the challenges and strategies in in-vivo range verification for optimized particle therapy applications.
