A novel adaptive energy switching algorithm for proton arc therapy based on the machine‐specific delivery characteristics
Based on the machine-specific delivery characteristics, we introduced a novel adaptive energy switching algorithm for efficient SPArc optimization, which could significantly improve delivery efficiency while enhancing the plan quality by eliminating no longer necessary constraints on the total number of energy layer ascending switching.
