Good day. I would like to ask what is the unit of the Beams weight in RT slicer for proton therapy? I extracted data from the plan but the units for weight was not specified.
Thank you.
It’s a relative weight of the beams within the plan. It is taken into account when accumulating per-beam doses. A dose with a weight of 1.0 is added to the accumulated final dose as is, but with a weight of 0.5 the calculated cGy values will be halved during the summation.
