Abstract
This study aims to develop a method for verifying site-specific and/or beam path specific proton beam range, which could reduce range uncertainty margins and the associated treatment complications. It investigates the range uncertainties from both CT HU to relative stopping power conversion and patient positioning errors for prostate treatment using pelvic-like biological phantoms. Three 25 × 14 × 12 cm3phantoms, made of fresh animal tissues...
