Stereotactical fields applied in proton spot scanning mode with range shifter and collimating aperture

Some clinical indications require small fields with sharp lateral dose gradients, which is technically challenging in proton beam therapy. This holds especially true for low-range fields applied with the spot scanning technique, where large beam profiles entering from the beam-line or the insertion...
