Description

By precalculation of an entire set of planning solutions for protons, penalizing them and providing a graphical navigator tool (Automated Treatment Planning [ATP]), we aim to improve the efficiency of the planning procedure for uveal melanoma (UM) and make it independent of treatment planner experience.
