Abstract
This paper demonstrates the capabilities of a compact non-anthropomorphic water dynamic phantom for spot scanning proton therapy. This phantom simulates the intrafractional motion of a tissue-equivalent target in water based on various motion patterns. The design of the phantom is optimized for use with fixed horizontal beam setups without gantry. The phantom targets are compatible with standard dosimetry equipment such as ionization chambers and dosimetric films. The dynamic phantom has small dimensions and weight, low cost, wide functionality with the possibility of its refinement, and is also easy to use. The phantom can be used both for research purposes and for routine quality assurance of proton therapy for intrafractionally moving tumors.
