Abstract The macro Monte Carlo (MMC) method has been developed to improve the speed
of traditional Monte Carlo (MC) high-energy electron transport calculations without loss in …

Abstract The macro Monte Carlo (MMC) method is a fast Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm for
high energy electron transport in an absorbing medium. Incident electrons are transported in …

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

The purpose of this study is to perform a clinical evaluation of the first commercial (MDS
Nordion, now Nucletron) treatment planning system for electron beams incorporating Monte …

Abstract A new Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm, thedose planning method'(DPM), and its
associated computer program for simulating the transport of electrons and photons in …

Technical requirements for Monte Carlo based electron radiotherapy treatment planning are
outlined. The targeted overall accuracy for estimate of the delivered dose is the least …

A new model for calculating electron beam dose has been developed. The algorithm is
based on a two‐or three‐dimensional geometry defined by computerized tomography (CT) …

In 2002 we fully implemented clinically a commercial Monte Carlo based treatment planning
system for electron beams. The software, developed by MDS Nordion (presently Nucletron) …

Monte Carlo studies of dose distributions in patients treated with radiotherapy electron
beams would benefit from generalized models of clinical beams if such models introduce …

The superposition/convolution method and the transport of pregenerated Monte Carlo
electron track data have been combined into the Super‐Monte Carlo (smc) method, an …
