Evaluation of the RtDosePlan Treatment Planning System using Radiochromic Film and Monte Carlo Simulation
Introduction: GafChromic EBT films are one of the self-developing and modern films commercially available for dosimetric verification of treatment planning systems (TPSs). Their high spatial resolution, low energy dependence and near-tissue equivalence make them suitable for verification of dose distributions in radiation therapy. This study was designed to evaluate the dosimetric parameters of...
متن کاملApplication of the Multi-Model Monte-Carlo Treatment Planning System Combined with PHITS to Proton Radiotherapy
In proton radiotherapy, a proton generates secondary neutrons and photons in a patient’s body. This leads to irradiation of the area in proximity to the target region with incidental doses caused by secondary radiation in addition to the therapeutic dose. However in current treatment planning of proton radiotherapy, conventional dose estimation algorithms like the pencil beam method can not est...
متن کاملRadial dose functions of GZP6 intracavitary brachytherapy 60Co sources: treatment planning system versus Monte Carlo calculations
Background: The Monte Carlo (MC) method is not only used for dose calculations around brachytherapy sources but also for benchmarking treatment planning systems (TPS) calculations. Materials and Methods: Three 60Co sources of GZP6 brachytherapy unit were simulated using MCNP4C MC Code. The radial dose functions were calculated by MC method and GZP6 TPS and were compared. Results: There was a go...
متن کاملAgnostic System Identification for Monte Carlo Planning
While model-based reinforcement learning is often studied under the assumption that a fully accurate model is contained within the model class, this is rarely true in practice. When the model class may be fundamentally limited, it can be difficult to obtain theoretical guarantees. Under some conditions the DAgger algorithm promises a policy nearly as good as the plan obtained from the most accu...
متن کاملThe Use of Monte-carlo Codes for Treatment Planning in External- Beam Radiotherapy
Monte Carlo simulation of radiation transport is a very powerful technique. There are basically no exact analytical solutions to the Boltzmann Transport equation. Even the "straightforward" situation (in radiotherapy) of an electron beam depth-dose distribution in water proves to be too difficult for analytical methods without making gross approximations such as ignoring energy-loss straggling,...
