Robust beam arrangement

➢

dose homogeneity: choose beam angles avoiding large density interfaces along the beam axis range uncertainty: avoid placing Bragg peaks proximal to critical OARs

Ammazalorso et al. Radiat Oncol 9 (2014)

➢

beam incidence parallel to OARs

o

spot positioning margins/restrictions around OARs
