Proton therapy (PT) is an advancing radiotherapy modality increasingly integrated into clinical settings, transitioning from research facilities to hospital environments. A critical aspect of the commissioning of a proton pencil beam scanning delivery system is the acquisition of experimental beam data for accurate beam modelling within the treatment planning system (TPS). These guidelines describe in detail the acquisition of proton pencil beam modelling data. First, it outlines the intrinsic characteristics of a proton pencil beam—energy distribution, angular-spatial distribution and particle number. Then, it lists the input data typically requested by TPSs. Finally, it describes in detail the set of experimental measurements recommended for the acquisition of proton pencil beam modelling data—integrated depth-dose curves, spot maps in air, and reference dosimetry. The rigorous characterization of these beam parameters is essential for ensuring the safe and precise delivery of proton therapy treatments. |
