Popis: Purpose: This study compared craniospinal irradiation using proton beam therapy (PBT) according to irradiation method and investigated the initial effects. Methods and Materials: Twenty-four pediatric patients (1-24 years old) who received proton craniospinal irradiation were examined. Passive scattered PBT (PSPT) and intensity modulated PBT (IMPT) were used in 8 and 16 patients, respectively. The whole vertebral body technique was used for 13 patients
