Comparison of supine and upright postures in carbon ion radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer: An in silico planning study
The upright CIRT had several anatomical and dosimetric advantages for pancreatic cancer treatment over conventional supine CIRT. This technique will be useful in applying the patient-specific beam angle arrangement and precise dose delivery with reduced range uncertainty.
