Hybrid proton planning combining spread-out Bragg peak beams with transmission beams to shorten field delivery times while maintaining plan quality

Background and purpose: Delivery times of Bragg-peak-based intensity-modulated proton therapy fields play an important role in patient throughput and comfort. Despite the associated exit dose, single-layer proton transmission beams benefit from sharper penumbras and are extremely fast to deliver. In...
