Evaluation of dosimetric advantages of using patient‐specific aperture system with intensity‐modulated proton therapy for the shallow depth tumor

In this study, we evaluate dosimetric advantages of using patient‐specific aperture system with intensity‐modulated proton therapy (IMPT) for head and neck tumors at the shallow depth. We used four types of patient‐specific aperture system (PSAS) to irradiate shallow regions less than 4 g/cm(2) with...
