An illustration of the Bragg peak, demonstrating the finite range of the protons in tissue. Slight changes along the path of the proton (e.g., anatomic changes, changes from patient motion) may result in slightly higher or lower WETs. This may result in the protons penetrating further than intended or stopping at a shallower depth than intended. WET, water equivalent thickness.
