NSS 2022.05.13 - Arthur Lalonde "Toward online adaptive proton therapy using cone-beam CT data"

Intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) is a promising modality for the treatment of head and neck cancers, where target volumes are often surrounded by critical organs at risk (OAR). However, the sharp dose fall-off created by proton beams makes IMPT more sensitive than photon radiation therapy against setup variations and anatomical changes, which are common amongst head and neck patients.
