The use and interest in Monte Carlo (MC) techniques in the field of medical physics have
been rapidly increasing in the past years. This is the case especially in particle therapy …

Background and purpose Anatomical changes may compromise the planned target
coverage and organs-at-risk dose in particle therapy. This study reports on the practice …

Purpose To develop an online graphic processing unit (GPU)‐accelerated Monte Carlo‐
based adaptive radiation therapy (ART) workflow for pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton …

Introduction Intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) is highly sensitive to anatomical
variations which can cause inadequate target coverage during treatment. This study …

We present commissioning and validation of Fred, a graphical processing unit (GPU)–
accelerated Monte Carlo code, for two proton beam therapy facilities of different beam line …

Objectives: Software re-calculation of proton pencil beam scanning plans provides a method
of verifying treatment planning system (TPS) dose calculations prior to patient treatment …

Objective. To compare a not adapted (NA) robust planning strategy with three fully
automated online adaptive proton therapy (OAPT) workflows based on the same …

Background and purpose Model-based selection of proton therapy patients relies on a
predefined reduction in normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) with respect to photon …

In the current spectrum of cancer treatments, despite high costs, a lack of robust evidence
based on clinical outcomes or technical and radiobiological uncertainties, particle therapy …

Patient specific quality assurance can be improved using an independent dose calculation
system. In addition, the implementation of such a system may support light ion beam therapy …
