Abstract:BackgroundIntensity‐modulated proton therapy (IMPT) optimizes spot intensities and position, providing better conformability. However, the successful application of IMPT is dependent upon addressing the challenges posed by range and setup uncertainties. In order to address the uncertainties in IMPT, robust optimization is essential.PurposeThis study aims to develop a novel fast algorithm for robust optimization of IMPT with minimum monitor unit (MU) constraint.Methods and MaterialsThe study formulates a robust… Show more
