A Python package for fast GPU‐based proton pencil beam dose calculation
We developed a GPU-based proton PB algorithm compiled as a Python package, providing simple beam modeling, interface, and fast dose calculation for IMPT plan optimization research and development. Like other PB algorithms, accuracy is limited in highly heterogeneous regions such as the thorax.
