The MR-linac is a hybrid MRI radiotherapy system allowing dose delivery in a 1.5 T
magnetic field. This paper presents the design and performance of a prototype MR-linac …

Abstract An integrated Monte Carlo (MC) dose calculation system, MCRTV (Monte Carlo for
radiotherapy treatment plan verification), has been developed for clinical treatment plan …

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: In radiotherapy the healthy tissue involvement still poses serious
dose limitations. This results in sub-optimal tumour dose and complications. Daily image …

Purpose: The purposes of this study are to improve the accuracy of source and geometry
parameters used in the simulation of large electron fields from a clinical linear accelerator …

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 …

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 …

Purpose: We present feasibility studies in support of a real‐time MRI guided external beam
radiotherapy delivery system currently under commercial development. Method and …

The aim of this work was to determine magnetic field correction factors that are needed for
dosimetry in hybrid devices for MR-guided radiotherapy for Farmer-type ionization chambers …

Ion beam therapy is a rapidly growing technique for tumor radiation therapy. Ions allow for a
high dose deposition in the tumor region, while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue. For …

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 …
