 note = {Radiation therapy for cancer involves high-precision modali- ties such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy, stereo- tactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), and particle therapy, with rapidly expanding indications and benefits for cancer patients. Three- and four-dimensional (3D/4D) treatment planning and image-guided beam delivery are essential for the safe and reliable administration of these high-precision treatments. These two closely related technologies were first developed by Michael Goitein (Fig. 1) of the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston to enable precise proton therapy. Although his career comprised other outstanding achievements in radiation therapy physics, such as quantify- ing uncertainty in planning and delivery, we will focus on the system he created.},
