Monte Carlo Dose Algorithm
Conventional dose calculation algorithms, such as Pencil Beam are proven effective for tumors located in homogeneous regions with similar tissue consistency such as the brain. However, these algorithms tend to overestimate the dose distribution in extracranial regions such as in the lung and head and neck regions where large inhomogeneities exist. Due to the inconsistencies seen in current calc...
متن کاملValidation of an electron Monte Carlo dose calculation algorithm in the presence of heterogeneities using EGSnrc and radiochromic film measurements
The purpose of this study is to validate Eclipse's electron Monte Carlo algorithm (eMC) in heterogeneous phantoms using radiochromic films and EGSnrc as a reference Monte Carlo algorithm. Four heterogeneous phantoms are used in this study. Radiochromic films are inserted in these phantoms, including in heterogeneous media, and the measured relative dose distributions are compared to eMC calcula...
متن کاملIndependent absorbed-dose calculation using the Monte Carlo algorithm in volumetric modulated arc therapy
PURPOSE To report the result of independent absorbed-dose calculations based on a Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm in volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for various treatment sites. METHODS AND MATERIALS All treatment plans were created by the superposition/convolution (SC) algorithm of SmartArc (Pinnacle V9.2, Philips). The beam information was converted into the format of the Monaco V3.3 (El...
متن کاملElectron Dose Distributions in Inhomogeneous Phantoms: a Monte Carlo Study
Dose distributions in different models of inhomogeneous phantoms irradiated with 3 19 MeV electron beams have been calculated using DOSXYZnrc/EGSnrc Monte Carlo code. The rectilinear 3D voxel phantoms, relevant for radiotherapy and clinical dosimetry, were built from ICRU soft tissue equivalent material in which was inserted a single layer of bone, lung, air or Titanium. Significant interface e...
متن کاملCalculation of airkerma conversion factor to personal dose equivalent at various depths using the Monte Carlo Code GATE
Several studies have been done with the aim of improving the quality of the radiation protection measurement in radiology and nuclear medicine. Among different subjects which are capable to be considered in this area, the measurement of the operational quantities of protection against the radiation ,such as, personal dose equivalent ,HP(d), at different depths (d=0.07mm, 3mm, 10mm) is an impor...
