Proton penetration and control in nonhomogeneous phantoms
- 1. Radiology Department, State University of New York at Stony Brook, Stony Brook, New York 11794
Description
Accurate bolus is needed for extension of Bragg-peak therapy. Proton beam-stopping profiles in a lucite--styrofoam--tissue phantom and in a Rando phantom were recorded photographically. Air volumes caused the largest distortions. Lucite bolus was cut to achieve desired beam-stopping profiles. Verification of bolus effect in situ will be important to control beam penetration within 5 mm
