The impact of breathing amplitude on dose homogeneity in intensity modulated proton therapy
Background/purpose: Intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) dose distributions can be severely degraded in targets moving with respiration due to the interplay, range and blurring effects. In this study we investigated the joint and disentangled impact of these effects as a function of the motion...
