Correction: Quality Assurance Measurements for Range in Clinical and FLASH Proton Beam Therapy

Overview

This correction addresses errors in author affiliations in the original publication on range quality assurance measurements using the range calorimeter in proton beam therapy. The corrected affiliations ensure accurate attribution of institutional contributions.

Background

Quality assurance in proton beam therapy, including clinical and FLASH modalities, is critical for precise dose delivery. The range calorimeter is a key tool for verifying proton beam range, impacting treatment accuracy and patient safety. Accurate author affiliations are essential for proper academic and clinical recognition of research contributions.

Data Highlights

No numerical data presented in this correction notice; the focus is on affiliation amendments.

Key Findings

• The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, United Kingdom, was incorrectly listed with an additional affiliation and has been corrected.
• Authors Sam Manger, Nicholas Henthorn, John-William Warmenhoven, and Michael Taylor had incorrect affiliations removed and the correct affiliation added.
• Author Raffaella Radogna's affiliation with Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Sezione di Bari, Bari, Italy, was omitted and has now been included.
• The original article has been updated to reflect these corrections.

Clinical Implications

Accurate author affiliations support transparency and accountability in clinical research, which is vital for trust in quality assurance methodologies in proton therapy. Ensuring correct institutional representation facilitates collaboration and resource allocation in advancing proton therapy techniques.

Conclusion

This correction clarifies author affiliations to maintain the integrity of the published research on range quality assurance in proton beam therapy. Such attention to detail supports the ongoing development and clinical application of precise proton therapy techniques.
