Water Equivalent Thickness Analysis of Immobilization Devices for Clinical Implementation in Proton Therapy
Immobilization devices can impact not only the inter- and intra-fraction motion of the patient, but also the range uncertainty of the treatment beam in proton therapy. In order to limit additional range uncertainty, the water equivalent thickness (WET) of the immobilization device needs to be well k...
