Brief Summary

The aim of this protocol is to refine the accuracy of proton beam therapy (PT) by the use of dual energy computed tomography (DECT), in conjunction with novel iterative image reconstruction algorithms, to more precisely determine the tissue properties through which the proton beam path travels.
