15 صفحه اولClinical implementation and evaluation of the Acuros dose calculation algorithm
PURPOSE The main aim of this study is to validate the Acuros XB dose calculation algorithm for a Varian Clinac iX linac in our clinics, and subsequently compare it with the wildely used AAA algorithm. METHODS AND MATERIALS The source models for both Acuros XB and AAA were configured by importing the same measured beam data into Eclipse treatment planning system. Both algorithms were validated...
متن کاملA Review on the Use of Grid-Based Boltzmann Equation Solvers for Dose Calculation in External Photon Beam Treatment Planning
Deterministic linear Boltzmann transport equation (D-LBTE) solvers have recently been developed, and one of the latest available software codes, Acuros XB, has been implemented in a commercial treatment planning system for radiotherapy photon beam dose calculation. One of the major limitations of most commercially available model-based algorithms for photon dose calculation is the ability to ac...
متن کاملStochastic simulation algorithm for the quantum linear Boltzmann equation.
We develop a Monte Carlo wave function algorithm for the quantum linear Boltzmann equation, a Markovian master equation describing the quantum motion of a test particle interacting with the particles of an environmental background gas. The algorithm leads to a numerically efficient stochastic simulation procedure for the most general form of this integrodifferential equation, which involves a f...
متن کاملThe dissipative linear Boltzmann equation
We introduce and discuss a linear Boltzmann equation describing dissipative interactions of a gas of test particles with a fixed background. For a pseudo-Maxwellian collision kernel, it is shown that, if the initial distribution has finite temperature, the solution converges exponentially for large–time to a Maxwellian profile drifting at the same velocity as field particles and with a universa...
