Spot Scanning

Spot Scanning is a proton therapy delivery technique that belongs to the class of particle beam modulation methods, distinguished by its use of a narrowly focused proton beam rastered across the tumor volume in discrete three-dimensional spots to achieve highly conformal dose distributions through precise control of beam intensity, energy, and position.
