The influence of patient positioning uncertainties in proton radiotherapy on proton range and dose distributions

PURPOSE: Proton radiotherapy allows radiation treatment delivery with high dose gradients. The nature of such dose distributions increases the influence of patient positioning uncertainties on their fidelity when compared to photon radiotherapy. The present work quantitatively analyzes the influence...
