Influence on the radiological pathlength
Moving anatomical districts with strong inhomogeneities may cause
variation in BP deposition
→
Particles stop before/beyond the expected
position.
→
Uncorrect Dose Distribution
Particle Therapy
→
high sensitivity of the dose distribution to density variation

any concept to compensate for the uncertainties due
to organ motion needs to incorporate also the influence on the beam’s range
