Comparison of proton therapy techniques for treatment of the whole brain as a component of craniospinal radiation
BACKGROUND: For treatment of the entire cranium using passive scattering proton therapy (PSPT) compensators are often employed in order to reduce lens and cochlear exposure. We sought to assess the advantages and consequences of utilizing compensators for the treatment of the whole brain as a compon...
