Evaluation of the analytical anisotropic algorithm in an extreme water–lung interface phantom using Monte Carlo dose calculations
Our study compares the performance of the analytical anisotropic algorithm (AAA), a new superposition-convolution algorithm recently implemented in the Eclipse (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA) Integrated Treatment Planning System (TPS), to that of the pencil beam convolution (PBC) algorithm in an extreme (C-shaped, horizontal and vertical boundaries) water-lung interface phantom. Monte C...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Dose Algorithm
Conventional dose calculation algorithms, such as Pencil Beam are proven effective for tumors located in homogeneous regions with similar tissue consistency such as the brain. However, these algorithms tend to overestimate the dose distribution in extracranial regions such as in the lung and head and neck regions where large inhomogeneities exist. Due to the inconsistencies seen in current calc...
متن کاملDynamic Monte Carlo simulations of anisotropic colloids.
We put forward a simple procedure for extracting dynamical information from Monte Carlo simulations, by appropriate matching of the short-time diffusion tensor with its infinite-dilution limit counterpart, which is supposed to be known. This approach--discarding hydrodynamics interactions--first allows us to improve the efficiency of previous dynamic Monte Carlo algorithms for spherical Brownia...

Introduction: This study aimed to report the measurement of photon and electron beams to configure the Analytical Anisotropic Algorithm and Electron Monte Carlo used in clinical treatment. Material and Methods: All measurements were performed in a large water phantom using a 3-dimensional scanning system (PTW, Germany). ...
متن کاملFinite-Size Monte Carlo Calculations for Anisotropic Quantum Hall Liquids
At low temperatures, two-dimensional electron systems in a perpendicular magnetic field exhibit remarkable quantum phenomena [1]. The strongly correlated electrons stabilize in different quantum phases as the quantum Hall filling factor is varied. In this work, we present finite-size Monte Carlo simulation results for anisotropic quantum Hall liquid states observed at certain even-denominator q...
