Uncertainties and correction methods when modeling passive scattering proton therapy treatment heads with Monte Carlo

Monte Carlo models of proton therapy treatment heads are being used to improve beam delivery systems and to calculate the radiation field for patient dose calculations. The achievable accuracy of the model depends on the exact knowledge of the treatment head geometry and time structure, the material...
