Abstract
To quantifiy the range uncertainty in proton treatment planning using dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) for a direct stopping-power prediction (DirectSPR) algorithm and its clinical implementation.To assess the overall uncertainty in stopping-power ratio (SPR) prediction of a DirectSPR implementation calibrated for different patient geometries, the influencing factors were categorized in imaging, modeling as well as others. The respective...
