Clinical benefit of range uncertainty reduction in proton treatment planning based on dual-energy CT for neuro-oncological patients

OBJECTIVE: Several studies have shown that dual-energy CT (DECT) can lead to improved accuracy for proton range estimation. This study investigated the clinical benefit of reduced range uncertainty, enabled by DECT, in robust optimisation for neuro-oncological patients. METHODS: DECT scans for 27 ne...
