4DMRI-based investigation on the interplay effect for pencil beam scanning proton therapy of pancreatic cancer patients

Abstract Background Time-resolved volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (4DMRI) offers the potential to analyze 3D motion with high soft-tissue contrast without additional imaging dose. We use 4DMRI to investigate the interplay effect for pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy of pancreatic cance...
