Monte Carlo simulated dose profiles are shown for a two-field IMPT (A), a proton arc delivery using a SpeleoFilter (B), the dose-volume histogram (DVH) (C), and the difference profile between these two delivery techniques (D). The legend provided for the DVH lists the dose coverage plots for the pencil beam scanning target volume (PBSTV, red), body (blue), and surrounding 10 mm rind of nearby healthy tissue (green).
