Abstract
MRFs can be used to reduce treatment time in cyclotron-based PBS proton therapy without sacrificing plan quality. This is particularly beneficial for patients with large targets and superficial disease such as in breast cancer where treatment times are generally long, as well as patients treated with deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH).
