Comparing proton treatment plans of pediatric brain tumors in two pencil beam scanning nozzles with different spot sizes
Target coverage and organ‐at‐risk sparing were compared for 22 pediatric patients with primary brain tumors treated using two distinct nozzles in pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy. Consecutive patients treated at our institution using a PBS‐dedicated nozzle (DN) were replanned using a univer...
