The purpose of this study was to implement the Monte Carlo method for clinical radiotherapy
dose calculations. We used the EGS4/BEAM code to obtain the phase‐space data for 6–20 …

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 …

Beam characterization consists of two parts: Beam simulation and beam modeling. The
EGS4/BEAM Monte-Carlo code system has been used for the simulation of the beams from …

A hybrid approach for commissioning electron beam Monte Carlo treatment planning
systems has been studied. The approach is based on the assumption that accelerators of …

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 …

A commercial electron dose calculation software implementation based on the macro Monte
Carlo algorithm has recently been introduced. We have evaluated the performance of the …

The purpose of this work was to use Monte Carlo simulations to verify the accuracy of the
dose distributions from a commercial treatment planning optimization system (Corvus …

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

For Monte Carlo linac simulations and patient dose calculations, it is important to accurately
determine the phase space parameters of the initial electron beam incident on the target …

Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has been increasingly used in radiotherapy
departments during the last several years. A major advantage of IMRT in comparison to …
