摘要:
A system for estimating a dose from a proton therapy plan includes a memory that stores machine instructions and a processor coupled to the memory that executes the machine instructions to subdivide a representation of a volume of interest in a patient anatomy traversed by a planned proton field into a plurality of voxels. The processor further executes the machine instructions to determine the distance from the source of the planned proton beam to one of the voxels. The processor also executes the machine instructions to compute the discrete contribution at the voxel to an estimated dose received by the volume of interest from the planned proton beam based on the distance between the source and the volume of interest.
