A semi‐empirical model for the therapeutic range shift estimation caused by inhomogeneities in proton beam therapy

The purpose of this study was to devise a simple semi‐empirical model to estimate the range shift in clinical practices with high‐Z inhomogeneity in proton beam. A semi‐empirical model utilizing the logarithmic dependence on Z in stopping power from Bohr's classical approach has been developed...
