Image guidance data collected in this study include daily volumetric pre-treatment CBCT for image guidance, post-correction CBCT, weekly post-treatment CBCT, and 2D orthogonal radiographs. Setup uncertainty will be estimated for head and body cohorts separately, further divided into different anatomic sites. The usefulness and necessity of daily volumetric image guidance for pediatric proton therapy patients will be determined. Knowledge gained from this study will provide a basis for reducing patient positioning uncertainty and designing optimal treatment plans for pediatric patients receiving proton therapy.
