New energy layer reduction method for rapid intensity‐modulated proton therapy (IMPT) using a ridge filter
A novel energy reduction method is proposed and experimentally demonstrated that leverages BP and EBP generated by a ridge filter that significantly decreases the number of energy levels required in IMPT, thereby enhancing delivery efficiency.
