This review describes the PARTRAC suite of comprehensive Monte Carlo simulation tools
for calculations of track structures of a variety of ionizing radiation qualities and their …

This topical review provides an up-to-date overview of the theoretical and practical aspects
of therapeutic kilovoltage x-ray beam dosimetry. Kilovoltage x-ray beams have the property …

Radiation quality and cellular oxygen concentration have a substantial impact on DNA
damage, reproductive cell death and, ultimately, the potential efficacy of radiation therapy for …

Ionizing radiation is a common tool in medical procedures. Monte Carlo (MC) techniques are
widely used when dosimetry is the matter of investigation. The scientific community has …

Relative biological effectiveness (RBE) compares the severity of damage induced by a
radiation under test at a dose D relative to the reference radiation D x for the same biological …

Background and Significance The application of heavy ion beams in cancer therapy must
account for the increasing relative biological effectiveness (RBE) with increasing penetration …

PURPOSE: The physical and potential biological advantages of proton and carbon ions
have not been fully exploited in radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer. In this work, an …

To account for particle interactions in the extracellular (physical) environment, information
from the cell-level Monte Carlo damage simulation (MCDS) for DNA double strand break …

The multiscale approach to the assessment of biodamage resulting upon irradiation of
biological media with ions is reviewed, explained and compared to other approaches. The …

The Monte Carlo (MC) method has been widely implemented in studies of radiation effects
on human genetic material. Most of these works have used specific‐purpose MC codes to …
