The fundamental goal of radiotherapy is to maximize the radiation dose to enhance the tumor control while minimizing dose to the normal tissues. Proton radiotherapy for clinical use has increased in the last decade. Currently, the use of pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy technology for the treatment of various cancers is gaining popularity. The potential challenge of clinical utilization of PBS proton therapy occurs in the case of mobile tumors such as lung. The mitigation of interplay effect in PBS proton therapy is critical to maintain a higher local control. Volumetric repainting is considered as one of the tumor motion management techniques in PBS proton treatment. Volumetric repainting is accomplished by scanning the entire target volume repeatedly.
This thesis examines the application of volumetric repainting in PBS proton therapy, with a particular emphasis on the alternating order repainting technique. The experiments were carried out on an IBA ProteusPLUS PBS proton sy
