Proton Therapy treatment planning in practice | Christine Chung 

Christine, Great talk, thank you. I am going through proton therapy right now and you were asked a question on what you would like to improve the process. My experience is that the cone CT scans to align body and target is pretty vague from what I can see. Would a full CT scan, maybe with contrast help you to make sure that the target is being addressed correctly or do you think a cone CT scan is adequate. I do worry about alignment of the body on the table especially as the resolution is about 5 mm and only three "tattoos" for alignment.

Nice talk Christine

This type of treatment is just for the wealthy people i.e. if you can afford ort have specific insurrance that goes along with facilities like MAYO CLINIC. Mayo pisks and chooses who they will treat $$$$$$$$. While the public pays billions on the research and equipment used by MAYO.
