Commissioning of a Monte Carlo‐based scanning proton beam for breast cancer: Incorporating LETd calculations and variable RBE models
Puntos clave
The feasibility of integrating multiple variable RBE models enhances dose estimation in proton therapy.
The Monte Carlo framework is utilized for robust RBE-weighted dose calculations in cancer treatment settings.
This approach aims to optimize radiation delivery by considering the linear energy transfer and its effects on tissue.
Integrating these models may improve patient outcomes, although clinical trials are necessary for verification.
Resumen
The commissioned MC framework demonstrated the feasibility of integrating multiple variable RBE models for RBE-weighted dose estimation in proton therapy.
