Proton FLASH: passive scattering or pencil beam scanning?
Abstract
This study focused on a direct comparison of dose delivery efficiency between two proton FLASH delivery modes: passive scattering and pencil beam scanning (PBS). Monte-Carlo simulation of the beamline was performed using the Geant4 package. Two proton energies (63 and 230 MeV) were selected, targeting for shallow and deep-seated tumors, respectively. Two irradiation field sizes were selected: 13 × 13 mm2 and 50 × 50 mm2. For each delivery mode, …
