Monte Carlo simulation techniques made a slow entry in the field of radiotherapy in the late
1970s. Since then they have gained enormous popularity, judging by the number of papers …

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 …

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

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 …

Purpose The magnetic field can cause a nonnegligible dosimetric effect in an MR‐Linac
system. This effect should be accurately accounted for by the beam models in treatment …

Dose to the patient outside of the treatment field is important when evaluating the outcome of
radiotherapy treatments. However, determining out‐of‐field doses for any particular …

Purpose: The integration of MRI with a linear accelerator (MR‐linac) offers great potential for
high‐precision delivery of radiation therapy (RT). However, the electron deflection resulting …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to acquire beam data for an MR‐linac, with and
without a 1.5 T magnetic field, by using a variety of commercially available detectors to …

The radiation therapy specific Voxel Monte Carlo (VMC++) dose calculation algorithm
achieves a dramatic improvement in MC dose calculation efficiency for radiation therapy …

At the UMC Utrecht, in collaboration with Elekta and Philips Research Hamburg, we are
developing a radiotherapy accelerator with integrated MRI functionality. The radiation dose …
