Protons for proton therapy are extracted from ________ gas through an electromagnetic field.

A 4-year-old child weighing 45 lbs is prescribed Vantin 100 mg PO four times daily for 10 days to treat pharyngitis. The recommended safe dose range for children ages 5 months to 12 years is 5 mg/kg every 12 hours, with a maximum of 100 mg per dose and a maximum total daily dose of 200 mg. Based on this safe dose range, is the prescribed order appropriate to administer?”

When designing immobilization devices for proton therapy, the type and thickness must be considered to keep the WET (water equivalent thickness) minimized as it will affect penumbra and _________.

A radiation therapy student observes that range uncertainties of 3-3.5% seem small, but questions why they’re considered a major concern in proton therapy planning. A senior physicist explains this by comparing two scenarios: a 20 cm deep photon beam with 3% uncertainty versus a 20 cm deep proton beam with 3% uncertainty. What is the key difference in clinical impact between the uncertainties of these 2 scenarios?
