Commissioning a fast Monte Carlo dose calculation algorithm for lung cancer treatment planning
A commercial Monte Carlo simulation package, NXEGS 1.12 (NumeriX LLC, New York, NY), was commissioned for photon-beam dose calculations. The same sets of measured data from 6-MV and 18-MV beams were used to commission NXEGS and Pinnacle 6.2b (Philips Medical Systems, Andover, MA). Accuracy and efficiency were compared against the collapsed cone convolution algorithm implemented in Pinnacle 6.2b...

an important need in radiation therapy is a fast and accurate treatment planning system. this system using ct data and characteristics of the radiation beam, calculates the dose in all points of the patient’s volume. two main factors in planning system are “accuracy” and “speed”. according to these factors, various generation of treatment planning systems are developed. this article is the re...
متن کاملReview of Fast Monte Carlo Codes for Dose Calculation in Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning
An important requirement in radiation therapy is a fast and accurate treatment planning system. This system, using computed tomography (CT) data, direction, and characteristics of the beam, calculates the dose at all points of the patient's volume. The two main factors in treatment planning system are accuracy and speed. According to these factors, various generations of treatment planning syst...
متن کاملEvaluation of an electron Monte Carlo dose calculation algorithm for treatment planning
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the electron Monte Carlo (eMC) dose calculation algorithm included in a commercial treatment planning system and compare its performance against an electron pencil beam algorithm. Several tests were performed to explore the system's behavior in simple geometries and in configurations encountered in clinical practice. The first series of t...
متن کاملFast CPU-based Monte Carlo simulation for radiotherapy dose calculation.
Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations are considered to be the most accurate method for calculating dose distributions in radiotherapy. Its clinical application, however, still is limited by the long runtimes conventional implementations of MC algorithms require to deliver sufficiently accurate results on high resolution imaging data. In order to overcome this obstacle we developed the software-package ...
