Biology-guided voxel-level inverse prescription mapping for dose painting (DP) using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging was evaluated for technical feasibility in proton therapy for 10 skull-base chordoma patients. Patient-specific DP prescriptions were generated from tumour cellularity and implemented in a clinical treatment planning system. Compared with uniform plans, DP achieved lower conformity (although >97 %), improved target dose metrics, reduced doses to most organs at risk, ...[more]
