Abstract
BACKGROUND: Many studies have utilized optical camera systems with volumetric scintillators for quality assurances (QA) to estimate the proton beam range. However, previous analytically driven range estimation methods have the difficulty to derive the dose distributions from the scintillation images with quenching and optical effects.
