Beam commissioning of the first compact proton therapy system with spot scanning and dynamic field collimation.

CONCLUSIONS: Beam characterization and machine commissioning results, and the exhaustive end-to-end tests performed to assess the proper functionality of the system, confirm that it is safe and accurate to treat patients. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This is the first paper addressing the beam commissioning and the beam validation of a compact, gantry-mounted, pencil beam scanning proton accelerator system with dynamic layer-by-layer multileaf collimation.
