Optimization of the computational efficiency of a 3D, collapsed cone dose calculation algorithm for brachytherapy.
Brachytherapy dose calculations based on point kernel superposition using the collapsed cone method have been shown to accurately model the influence from finite dimensions of the patient and effects from heterogeneities including those of high atomic numbers. The collapsed cone method is for brachytherapy applications most effectively implemented through a successive-scattering approach, in wh...
متن کاملCalculation of absorbed dose in lung tissue equivalent and compared it with prediction of a treatment planning system using Collapsed Cone Convolution algorithm
External radiotherapy is used for treatment of various types of cancers. Due to the impossibility of measuring the absorbed dose delivered to different organs during irradiation, treatment planning systems (TPSs) have been utilized for calculation of absorbed dose before a radiotherapy procedure. Thus, the accuracy and precession of the TPS is essential.The aim of this study is investigation of...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
