Abstract

We present the workflow of the offline-PET based range verification method used at the Heidelberg Ion Beam Therapy Center, detailing the functionalities of an in-house developed software application, SimInterface14, with which range analysis is performed. Moreover, we introduce the design of a decision support system assessing uncertainties and facilitating physicians in decisions making for plan adaptation.
