Influence of beam pruning techniques on LET and RBE in proton arc therapy

INTRODUCTION: Proton arc therapy (PAT) is an emerging treatment modality that holds promise to improve target volume coverage and reduce linear energy transfer (LET) in organs at risk. We aimed to investigate if pruning the highest energy layers in each beam direction could increase the LET in the t...
