Multiple-CT optimization of intensity-modulated proton therapy – Is it possible to eliminate adaptive planning?

We hypothesized that a plan's robustness to anatomical changes can be improved by optimizing with multiple CT scans of a patient. The purpose of this study was to determine whether an intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) plan could be developed to meet dose criteria on both planning and adaptive CT plans.
