Abstract The implementation of Monte Carlo dose calculation algorithms in clinical
radiotherapy treatment planning systems has been anticipated for many years. Despite a …

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 …

This paper reviews the effect of statistical uncertainties on radiotherapy treatment planning
using Monte Carlo simulations. We discuss issues related to the statistical analysis of Monte …

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 …

An accurate dose calculation in phantom and patient geometries requires an accurate
description of the radiation source. Errors in the radiation source description are propagated …

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 …
