Analytic prediction of droplet vaporization events to estimate the precision of ultrasound‐based proton range verification

Background The safety and efficacy of proton therapy is currently hampered by range uncertainties. The combination of ultrasound imaging with injectable radiation‐sensitive superheated nanodroplets was recently proposed for in vivo range verification. The proton range can be estimated from the distr...
