Implementation of a novel pencil beam scanning Bragg peak FLASH technique to a commercial treatment planning system
Inverse planning using a single-energy BP FLASH technique based on sparse spots and ultra-high minimum MU/spot can achieve intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT)-equivalent quality and sufficient FLASH coverage. This successful prototype brings us closer to commercial implementation and may increase the availability of proton FLASH dosimetry studies.
