Feasibility of using megavoltage computed tomography to reduce proton range uncertainty: A simulation study

PURPOSE: To demonstrate that variation in chemical composition has a negligible effect on the mapping curve from relative electron density (RED) to proton stopping power ratio (SPR), and to establish the theoretical framework of using Megavoltage (MV) computed tomography (CT), instead of kilovoltage...
