Purpose: There is interest in developing linac‐MR systems for MRI‐guided radiation
therapy. To date, the designs for such linac‐MR devices have been restricted to a transverse …

A current concern with 6 MV transverse field MRI‐linac hybrid systems is the predicted
increases in skin dose (both the entry and exit sides) caused by the effects of the magnetic …

Monte Carlo (MC) simulations have traditionally been used for single field relative
comparisons with experimental data or commercial treatment planning systems (TPS) …

The goal of this work was to facilitate the clinical use of Monte Carlo proton dose calculation
to support routine treatment planning and delivery. The Monte Carlo code Geant4 was used …

Dosimetric quality assurance (QA) of the new Elekta Unity (MR-linac) will differ from the QA
performed of a conventional linac due to the constant magnetic field, which creates an …

The UMC Utrecht is constructing a 1.5 T MRI scanner integrated with a linear accelerator
(Lagendijk et al 2008 Radiother. Oncol. 86 25–9). The goal of this device is to facilitate soft …

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 …

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 The Monaco Monte Carlo treatment planning system uses three‐beam model
components to achieve accuracy in dose calculation. These components include a virtual …

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 …
