Proton therapy using pencil beam scanning (PBS) has become more common in cancer treatment during the recent decades. Motion due to the patient's respiration still poses a problem for high-precision PBS treatments, and there is a need to quantify and predict the effects of respiratory motion with greater accuracy. A possible solution to this problem is the use of 4-dimensional (4D) dose calculation. 4D dose calculation aims to take into account the breathing motion of the patient, and it could be used to aid treatment planning and adaptations between fractions. In this thesis, the required background knowledge to understand 4D dose calculation is presented, after which a workflow for both retrospective 4D dose reconstruction using treatment...
