Innovations and the Use of Collimators in the Delivery of Pencil Beam Scanning Proton Therapy

Purpose: The development of collimating technologies has become a recent focus in pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy to improve the target conformity and healthy tissue sparing through field-specific or energy-layer–specific collimation. Given the growing popularity of collimators for low-ene...
