Depth dose perturbation by a hydrogel fiducial marker in a proton beam

The purpose of this study was to evaluate proton depth dose perturbation caused by a radio‐opaque hydrogel fiducial marker. Electronic proton stopping powers in the hydrogel were calculated for energies 0.5–250 MeV, and Monte Carlo simulations were generated of hydrogel vs. gold markers placed at va...
