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

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 …

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 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 …

During the last few decades, accuracy in photon and electron radiotherapy has increased
substantially. This is partly due to enhanced linear accelerator technology, providing more …

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 …

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

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 …

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 …

Abstract Currently photon Monte Carlo treatment planning (MCTP) for a patient stored in the
patient database of a treatment planning system (TPS) can usually only be performed using …
