Assessment of range uncertainty in lung-like tissue using a porcine lung phantom and proton radiography

Thoracic tumours are increasingly considered indications for pencil beam scanned proton therapy (PBS-PT) treatments. Conservative robustness settings have been suggested due to potential range straggling effects caused by the lung micro-structure. Using proton radiography (PR) and a 4D porcine lung...
