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

For over 50 years, electron beams have been an important modality for providing an
accurate dose of radiation to superficial cancers and disease and for limiting the dose to …

During the last few decades, accuracy in photon and electron radiotherapy has increased
substantially. This is partly due to enhanced linear accelerator technology, providing more …

O método de Monte Carlo tem se tornado, ao longo dos anos, uma ferramenta padrão para
cálculos de dose absorvida e outras grandezas de interesse nas áreas de terapêutica e …

The impact of the current nuclear data library covariances such as in ENDF/B-VII. 1, JEFF-
3.2, JENDL-4.0, SCALE and TENDL, for relevant current reactors is presented in this work …

A method based on a combination of the variance-reduction techniques of particle splitting
and Russian roulette is presented. This method improves the efficiency of radiation transport …

The track length estimator (TLE) method, an “on-the-fly” fluence tally in Monte Carlo (MC)
simulations, recently implemented in GATE 6.2, is known as a powerful tool to accelerate …

Purpose: Radiopharmaceutical applications in nuclear medicine require a detailed
dosimetry estimate of the radiation energy delivered to the human tissues. Over the past …

This study presents data for verification of the iPlan RT Monte Carlo (MC) dose algorithm
(BrainLAB, Feldkirchen, Germany). MC calculations were compared with pencil beam (PB) …

This paper presents a new algorithm to produce a near optimal mixture of experts model
