Feasibility of automated proton therapy plan adaptation for head and neck tumors using cone beam CT images

BACKGROUND: Intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) of head and neck (H&N) tumors may benefit from plan adaptation to correct for the dose perturbations caused by weight loss and tumor volume changes observed in these patients. As cone beam CT (CBCT) is increasingly considered in proton therap...
