Abstract

Accuracy in proton range prediction is critical in proton therapy to ensure conformal tumor dose. Our lab proposed a joint statistical image reconstruction method (JSIR) based on a basis vector model (BVM) for estimation of stopping power ratio maps and demonstrated that it outperforms competing Dual Energy CT (DECT) methods. However, no study has been performed on the clinical utility of our method. Here, we study the resulting dose prediction error, the difference between the dose delivered to tissue based on the more accurate JSIR-BVM method and the planned dose based on Single Energy CT (SECT).
