Medical physics

the uncertainty in where a proton beam stops in the patient, from imaging, stopping-power conversion and anatomy, which drives planning margins.

In medical physics, proton range uncertainty refers to the uncertainty in where a proton beam stops in the patient, from imaging, stopping-power conversion and anatomy, which drives planning margins. This meaning comes from Paganetti (2012) in Physics in Medicine and Biology.[1]
