Secondary radiation emission induced by nuclear reactions is correlated to the path of ions
in matter. Therefore, such penetrating radiation can be used for in vivo control of …

The use and interest in Monte Carlo (MC) techniques in the field of medical physics have
been rapidly increasing in the past years. This is the case especially in particle therapy …

Monte Carlo simulation techniques made a slow entry in the field of radiotherapy in the late
1970s. Since then they have gained enormous popularity, judging by the number of papers …

Dose calculation algorithms based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulations play a crucial role in
radiotherapy. Here, the development and benchmarking of a novel MC dose engine …

Pencil beam (PB) dose calculation is fast but inaccurate due to the approximations when
dealing with inhomogeneities. Monte Carlo (MC) dose calculation is the most accurate …

A fast and accurate dose calculation engine for hadrontherapy is critical for both routine
clinical and advanced research applications. FRoG is a graphics processing unit (GPU) …

In the last few years, the use of ions in radiation therapy is gaining interest and it is being
considered medically necessary for a growing subset of tumours. Concurrently, the …

Abstract Background Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are considered the gold‐standard for
accuracy in radiotherapy dose calculation; so far however, no commercial treatment …

Abstract Background Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are considered the gold‐standard for
