Abstract A new EGS4/PRESTA Monte Carlo user code, MCDOSE, has been developed as a
routine dose calculation tool for radiotherapy treatment planning. It is suitable for both …

A Monte Carlo user code, MCDOSE, has been developed for radiotherapy treatment
planning (RTP) dose calculations. MCDOSE is designed as a dose calculation module …

Analytical models have traditionally been used to estimate dose distributions for treatment
planning in radiation therapy. Recently, some physicists have suggested that Monte Carlo …

Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations are considered to be the most accurate method for calculating
dose distributions in radiotherapy. Its clinical application, however, still is limited by the long …

This study presents data for the verification of ORANGE, a fast MCNP-based dose engine for
radiotherapy treatment planning. In order to verify the new algorithm, it has been …

Dose calculation plays an important role in the accuracy of radiotherapy treatment planning
and beam delivery. The Monte Carlo (MC) method is capable of achieving the highest …

Background The use of the Monte Carlo (MC) method in radiotherapy dosimetry has
increased almost exponentially in the last decades. Its widespread use in the field has …

Radiotherapy research lacks a flexible computational research environment for Monte Carlo
(MC) and patient-specific treatment planning. The purpose of this study was to develop a …

Abstract MCDOSE is an EGS4 [1] user code developed at Stanford University for radiation
therapy treatment planning dose calculations. MCDOSE can be used to simulate the …

Abstract The implementation of Monte Carlo dose calculation algorithms in clinical
