Published Date: Jan 31, 2022

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The beam output of a double scattering proton system varies for each combination of beam option, range, and modulation and therefore is difficult to be accurately modeled by the treatment planning system (TPS). This study aims to design an empirical method using the analytical and machine learning (ML) models to estimate proton output in a double scattering proton system.
