Abstract
Total facility design, synchrotron operation cycle, and gating windows were listed as the important factors causing the interplay effects contributing to the irradiation time and motion-induced dose error. Fiducial markers that we have developed and used for the RTRT in X-ray therapy were suggested to have the capacity to improve dose distribution. Accumulated internal motion data in the RTRT system enable us to improve the operation and function of a Spot-scanning proton beam therapy (SSPT) system. A real-time-image gated SSPT system can increase accuracy for treating moving tumors. The system will start clinical service in early 2014.
