We demonstrated the feasibility of directly incorporating variable RBE models in IMPT optimization. A hybrid RBE optimization strategy showed potential for clinical implementation by maintaining all current dose limits and reducing the incidence of high RBE in critical normal tissues in ependymoma patients.
