A simulation study on proton computed tomography (CT) stopping power accuracy using dual energy CT scans as benchmark.
CONCLUSION: Better stopping power estimates could significantly reduce the range errors in proton therapy, but requires a large improvement in current methods which may be achievable with proton CT.
