Abstract Aim Over recent years,[225Ac] Ac-PSMA and [177Lu] Lu-PSMA
radiopharmaceutical therapy have evolved as a promising treatment option for advanced …

Ion beam therapy, as an emerging radiation therapy modality, requires continuous efforts to
develop and improve tools for patient treatment planning (TP) and research applications …

The aim of this work is to perform Monte Carlo simulations of a proton pencil beam scanning
machine, characterise the low-dose envelope of scanned proton beams and assess the …

Purpose: Conventional spot scanning intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) treatment
planning systems (TPSs) optimize proton spot weights based on analytical dose …

The advantages of a finite range of proton beams can only be partly exploited in radiation
therapy unless the range can be predicted in patient anatomy with< 2 mm accuracy (for non …

This study is aimed at identifying the potential benefits of using a patient-specific aperture in
proton beam scanning. For this purpose, an accurate Monte Carlo model of the pencil beam …

Purpose To present a reference Monte Carlo (MC) beam model developed in GATE/Geant4
for the MedAustron fixed beam line. The proposed model includes an absolute dose …

A key task within all Monte Carlo particle transport codes is' navigation', the calculation to
determine at each particle step what volume the particle may be leaving and what volume …

Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is commonly considered as the most accurate dose calculation
method for proton therapy. Aiming at achieving fast MC dose calculations for clinical …

An essential component in proton radiotherapy is the algorithm to calculate the radiation
dose to be delivered to the patient. The most common dose algorithms are fast but they are …
