Distal gradient tracking (DGT) for a non-uniform dose prescription. Proton beam spots are placed at points at which the dose gradient along the central ray drops below a negative threshold or rises above a positive threshold that occurs after a negative threshold or rises above a positive threshold that occurs after a negative threshold.
