Supine craniospinal irradiation in pediatric patients by proton pencil beam scanning.
Published in the Green Journal by the Trento group in Italy, this paper reported methods and techniques for performing PBS CSI effectively.
Special methods included:
1) supine patient position
2) field-junctions via the ancillary-beam technique
3) lens-sparing by three beam whole brain irradiation
4) applied a movable snout and beam splitting technique to reduce the lateral penumbra for dose reduction to kidney
