A novel approach for proton therapy pencil beam scanning patient specific quality assurance using an integrated detector system and 3D dose reconstruction
This proof-of-concept demonstrates feasibility of independent beam parameter verification for PBS PSQA while maintaining patient geometry. The approach offers advantages over current methods but requires resolution of energy calibration offsets and detector limitations before clinical implementation. Future work will address these challenges and expand validation to clinical treatment plans.
