Fig. 3From: Worst case optimization for interfractional motion mitigation in carbon ion therapy of pancreatic cancerExample dose distributions for three tested optimization methods for different patients. The left column shows the conventional optimization which shows pronounced hot/cold spots. The mid column shows the worst case optimization, which generates a smaller high dose region around the GTV without pronounced hot/cold spots. The right column shows the SFUD optimization also without pronounced hot/cold spotsBack to article page
