Use of diverging apertures to minimize the edge scatter in passive scattering proton therapy

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of diverging‐cut aperture to minimize collimator contamination in proton therapy. Two sets of apertures with nondivergent and divergent edge were fabricated to produce a [Formula: see text] field at the radiation isocenter of a single‐room proton the...
