Abstract
Results of measurements performed on different phantoms showed that the combination of gating and layered repainting is suitable to treat moving targets using scanning ion beams. Abdominal compression using thermoplastic masks, together with multi-field planning approach and multi-fractionation, have also been assessed as additional strategies to mitigate the effect of patient respiration in the clinical practice.
