Feasibility of Proton Range Estimation with Prompt Gamma Imaging in Proton Therapy of Lung Cancer: Monte Carlo Study
The accuracy of proton range estimation through PGI is greatly influenced by the number of incident protons and tissue characteristics. With 10<sup>9</sup> protons, it is feasible to utilize PGI as a real-time monitoring technique during proton therapy for lung cancer.
