Abstract:Purpose: In particle therapy inter‐fractional motions cause dose inhomgeneities in the target region. An adaptive strategy which not only takes target position variation but also organ deformation into account is proposed, and its feasibility is tested. Methods: The suggested adaptive workflow starts with generation of an original treatment plan that is included in a patient specific plan library. During the first fraction, a daily CT is taken for position verification, and the original plan is applied to the … Show more
