In this paper, the authors' review the applicability of the open‐source GATE Monte Carlo
simulation platform based on the GEANT4 toolkit for radiation therapy and dosimetry …

Hadron therapy allows for highly conformal dose distributions and better sparing of organs-
at-risk, thanks to the characteristic dose deposition as function of depth. However, the quality …

Abstract GATE (Geant4 Application for Emission Tomography) is a Monte Carlo simulation
platform developed by the OpenGATE collaboration since 2001 and first publicly released in …

Abstract RaySearch Americas Inc.(NY) has introduced a commercial Monte Carlo dose
algorithm (RS-MC) for routine clinical use in proton spot scanning. In this report, we provide …

This work proposes a generic method for modeling scanned ion beam delivery systems,
without simulation of the treatment nozzle and based exclusively on beam data library (BDL) …

Purpose: Accuracy in proton therapy treatment planning can be improved using Monte Carlo
(MC) simulations. However the long computation time of such methods hinders their use in …

Purpose: This Monte Carlo simulation work aims at studying a new radiotherapy approach
called proton‐minibeam radiation therapy (pMBRT). The main objective of this proof of …

Monte Carlo simulations play a crucial role for in-vivo treatment monitoring based on PET
and prompt gamma imaging in proton and carbon-ion therapies. The accuracy of the nuclear …

In this paper we report on Monte Carlo simulations to investigate real-time monitoring of the
track depth profile in particle therapy by measuring prompt gamma ray emissions: a high …

Abstract The GEANT4-based GATE Monte Carlo (MC) platform was initially focused on PET
and SPECT simulations. The new release v6. 0 (February 2010) proposes new tools …
