Radiation Treatment Planning Using Discrete Ordinates Codes

As oncologists are able to treat smaller tumors with more complex external beams, the ability to optimize radiation treatment planning (RTP) becomes very important. Historically, Monte Carlo codes have been used for this type of work since they are equipped to accurately treat charged particles. However, these codes take a long time to run to obtain statistically accurate results. Discrete ordi...

Photon Beam Transport in a Voxelized Human Phantom Model: Discrete Ordinates Vs Monte Carlo

With recent development of new methods such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for radiation delivery, dose fields can, in principle, be generated in near-conformal three-dimensional (3-D) distributions around a designated treatment volume, while minimizing exposure to vital organs. Because the intended dose distributions are sensitive to the assumed treatment geometry, the new del...

An Improved Parallelism Scheme for Deterministic Discrete Ordinates Transport

In this paper we demonstrate techniques for increasing the node-level parallelism of a deterministic discrete ordinates neutral particle transport algorithm on a structured mesh to exploit many-core technologies. Transport calculations form a large part of the computational workload of physical simulations and so good performance is vital for the simulations to complete in reasonable time. We w...

Sparse Discrete Ordinates Method in Radiative Transfer

The stationary monochromatic radiative transfer equation (RTE) is a partial differential transport equation stated on a five-dimensional phase space, the Cartesian product of physical and angular domain. We solve the RTE with a Galerkin FEM in physical space and collocation in angle, corresponding to a discrete ordinates method (DOM). To reduce the complexity of the problem and to avoid the “cu...

Implicitly causality enforced solution of multidimensional transient photon transport equation.

A novel method for solving the multidimensional transient photon transport equation for laser pulse propagation in biological tissue is presented. A Laguerre expansion is used to represent the time dependency of the incident short pulse. Owing to the intrinsic causal nature of Laguerre functions, our technique automatically always preserve the causality constrains of the transient signal. This ...
