04 Treatment Planning and Delivery for Active Pencil Beam Scanning
Session information
- Title:
- 04 Treatment Planning and Delivery for Active Pencil Beam Scanning
- Description:
- This session outlines the key factors in planning and delivering a conformal and robust actively scanned proton pencil beam treatment. It highlights the differences between the common proton beam therapy (PBT) treatment techniques, and gives an overview of the practical issues that must be taken into account during treatment planning, particularly regarding methods of ensuring plans are robust to uncertainties.
