Evaluation of an a priori scatter correction algorithm for cone-beam computed tomography based range and dose calculations in proton therapy

Background and purpose: Scatter correction of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) projections may enable accurate online dose-delivery estimations in photon and proton-based radiotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of scatter correction in CBCT-based proton range/dose calculations, in...
