Using field size factors to characterize the in-air fluence of a proton machine with a range shifter

INTRODUCTION: The range shifter (RS) is used to treat shallow tumors for a proton pencil beam scanning system (PBS). Adding RS certainly complicates the commissioning of the treatment planning system (TPS) because the spot sizes are significantly enlarged with RS. In this work, we present an efficie...
