Hadrontherapy and associated technologies

Pencil beam scanning (PBS) is the most common delivery techniquein proton therapy nowadays because of its high potential to reach gooddose homogeneity to the target and organs at risk (OAR) sparing. It ispossible to modulate each beam in terms of position, intensity andenergy to reach the best plan quality. In case of static lesions, thequality of the dose distribution can be more easily...
