Session

Overview: Dose delivery techniques in photon-based radiotherapy have advanced from 3D conformal radiotherapy, to intensity-modulated radiotherapy and volumetric modulated arc therapy. The progression aims to achieve higher dose conformality, faster dose delivery and increased plan robustness. Dose delivery in proton therapy has evolved from passive scattering to scanned beams and intensity-modulated proton therapy. Proton arc therapy (PAT) is a novel dose delivery technique, where the beam is delivered continuously through a dynamic rotational gantry. This session provides an overview of the current status and latest developments in PAT and highlights its potential to improve plan robustness and increase the therapeutic index.
