Perturbation of water‐equivalent thickness as a surrogate for respiratory motion in proton therapy

Respiratory motion is traditionally assessed using tumor motion magnitude. In proton therapy, respiratory motion causes density variations along the beam path that result in uncertainties of proton range. This work has investigated the use of water‐equivalent thickness (WET) to quantitatively assess...
