Purpose: This paper provides a comparison between a fast, commercial, in‐patient Monte
Carlo dose calculation algorithm (GPUMCD) and geant4. It also evaluates the dosimetric …

A new GPU‐based Monte Carlo dose calculation algorithm (GPUMCD), developed by the
vendor Elekta for the Monaco treatment planning system (TPS), is capable of modeling dose …

Purpose: The clinical commissioning of IMRT subject to a magnetic field is challenging. The
purpose of this work is to develop a GPU‐accelerated Monte Carlo dose calculation platform …

The MRI-linear accelerator system, currently being developed, is designed such that the
patient is irradiated in the presence of a magnetic field. This influences the dose distribution …

Purpose The aim of this work was to develop and benchmark a magnetic resonance (MR)‐
guided linear accelerator head model using the GEANT4 Monte Carlo (MC) code. The …

A new hybrid imaging-treatment modality, the MRI-Linac, involves the irradiation of the
patient in the presence of a strong magnetic field. This field acts on the charged particles …

In this work we dosimetrically evaluated the clinical implementation of a commercial Monte
Carlo treatment planning software (PEREGRINE, North American Scientific, Cranberry …

Purpose: The main focus of this work is to continue investigations into the Monte Carlo
predicted skin doses seen in MRI‐guided radiotherapy. In particular, the authors aim to …

Purpose To develop, implement, and validate a full 1.5 T/7 MV magnetic resonance (MR)‐
Linac accelerator head and cryostat model in EGSnrc for high precision dose calculations …

Purpose: There is interest in developing linac‐MR systems for MRI‐guided radiation
therapy. To date, the designs for such linac‐MR devices have been restricted to a transverse …
