Design of static and dynamic ridge filters for FLASH–IMPT: A simulation study
Abstract
PURPOSE: This paper focused on the design and optimization of ridge filter-based intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT), and its potential applications for FLASH. Differing from the standard pencil beam scanning (PBS) mode, no energy/layer switching is required and total treatment time can be shortened.
METHODS: Unique dose-influence matrices were generated as a proton beam traverses through slabs of different thicknesses (i.e., modulation …
