The Monte Carlo (MC) method has been shown through many research studies to calculate
accurate dose distributions for clinical radiotherapy, particularly in heterogeneous patient …

An important requirement in radiation therapy is a fast and accurate treatment planning
system. This system, using computed tomography (CT) data, direction, and characteristics of …

This work involves a validation of the photon and electron transport of the geant4 particle
simulation toolkit for radiotherapy physics applications. We examine the cross sections and …

O método de Monte Carlo tem se tornado, ao longo dos anos, uma ferramenta padrão para
cálculos de dose absorvida e outras grandezas de interesse nas áreas de terapêutica e …

The purpose of this study is to perform a clinical evaluation of the first commercial (MDS
