Clinical implementation of respiratory-gated spot-scanning proton therapy: An efficiency analysis of active motion management.

CONCLUSIONS: Active motion management has been crucial to the overall success of our SSPT program. Nevertheless, our conservative approach has come with an efficiency cost that is more noticeable in Ph-G treatments and should be considered in decision-making.
