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 …

The presented work has two goals. First, to demonstrate the feasibility of accurately
characterizing a proton radiation field at treatment head exit for Monte Carlo dose …

Contemporary treatment planning systems for proton radiotherapy typically use analytical
pencil-beam algorithms—which require a comprehensive set of configuration data—to …

Purpose To perform the validation of the GPU-based (Graphical Processing Unit based)
proton Monte Carlo (MC) dose engine implemented in a commercial TPS (RayStation 10B) …

We propose a method of creating and validating a Monte Carlo (MC) model of a proton
Pencil Beam Scanning (PBS) machine using only commissioning measurements and …

In the field of radiotherapy, Monte Carlo (MC) particle transport calculations are recognized
for their superior accuracy in predicting dose and fluence distributions in patient geometries …

Purpose To quantify the accuracy of a clinical proton treatment planning system (TPS) as
well as Monte Carlo (MC)–based dose calculation through measurements and to assess the …

Monte Carlo (MC)‐based dose calculations are generally superior to analytical dose
calculations (ADC) in modeling the dose distribution for proton pencil beam scanning (PBS) …

Density heterogeneities can have a profound effect on dose distributions for proton therapy.
Although analytical calculations in homogeneous media are relatively straightforward, the …

The prescribed dose in radiation therapy has to be converted into machine monitor units for
patient treatment. This is done routinely for each spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP) field either …
