Abstract The Monte Carlo (MC) method has proven invaluable for radiation transport
simulations to accurately determine radiation doses and is widely considered a reliable …

Purpose: Magnetic resonance imaging–guided radiotherapy (MRIgRT) provides superior
soft‐tissue contrast and real‐time imaging compared with standard image‐guided RT, which …

Integrating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) functionality with a radiotherapy accelerator
can facilitate on-line, soft-tissue based, position verification. A technical feasibility study, in …

It recently has been shown experimentally that the focusing provided by a longitudinal
nonuniform high magnetic field can significantly improve electron beam dose profiles. This …

The accuracy of conventional empirical and semi-empirical dose calculation algorithms for
radiation therapy treatment planning is limited. The main problem is that these algorithms fail …

Abstract The Monte Carlo group at the Medical College of Virginia has integrated Monte
Carlo dose calculation directly into a commercial treatment planning system. The design …

Purpose: MR‐Linac devices under development worldwide will require standard calibration,
commissioning, and quality assurance. Solid state radiation detectors are often used for …

IMRT is frequently used in the head-and-neck region, which contains materials of widely
differing densities (soft tissue, bone, air-cavities). Conventional methods of dose …

Several institutes are currently working on the development of a radiotherapy treatment
system with online MR imaging (MRI) modality. The main difference between their designs is …

This study is aimed at validating the Monte Carlo Geant4. 9.4 code for a 6 MV Varian linac
configuring a 10× 10 cm 2 radiation field. For this purpose a user-friendly Geant4 code …
