Implementation of pencil kernel and depth penetration algorithms for treatment planning of proton beams

The implementation of two algorithms for calculating dose distributions for radiation therapy treatment planning of intermediate energy proton beams is described. A pencil kernel algorithm and a depth penetration algorithm have been incorporated into a commercial three dimensional treatment planning...
