Since σm typically does not exceed 2 mm for in-room CT, there is no clinically significant dosimetric difference between the two modalities for online adaptive therapy of head-and-neck patients. Therefore, in-room CT-on-rails can be considered a good alternative to CBCT for adaptive proton therapy.
