Monte Carlo simulation of RapidArc radiotherapy delivery.
RapidArc radiotherapy technology from Varian Medical Systems is one of the most complex delivery systems currently available, and achieves an entire intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment in a single gantry rotation about the patient. Three dynamic parameters can be continuously varied to create IMRT dose distributions-the speed of rotation, beam shaping aperture and delivery do...

متن کاملConfigurational Temperature Verification of Monte Carlo Simulations
A new diagnostic that is useful for checking the algorithmic correctness of Monte Carlo computer programs is presented. The check is made by comparing the Boltzmann temperature, which is input to the program and used to accept or reject moves, with a configurational temperature k T B config = ∇ ∇ q q Φ Φ 2 2 . Here, Φ is the potential energy of the system and ∇q represents the dimensionless gra...
متن کاملLightweight Monte Carlo Verification of Markov Decision Processes with Rewards
Markov decision processes are useful models of concurrency optimisation problems, but are often intractable for exhaustive verification methods. Recent work has introduced lightweight approximative techniques that sample directly from scheduler space, bringing the prospect of scalable alternatives to standard numerical algorithms. The focus so far has been on optimising the probability of a pro...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo simulation and dosimetric verification of physical wedges used in radiation therapy
Background: The presence of a wedge filter in the beam trajectory can modify the beam quality and cause some changes in the dosimetry parameters which are usually difficult to be measured directly and accurately. Material and Methods: In this study the MCNP-4C Monte Carlo code was used to simulate the 9 MV photon beam generated by a linear accelerator. Upon getting a good agreement bet...
