Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses light-activated drugs to treat diseases ranging from
cancer to age-related macular degeneration and antibiotic-resistant infections. This paper …

Radiation dose calculation using models of the human anatomy has been a subject of great
interest to radiation protection, medical imaging, and radiotherapy. However, early pioneers …

The International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU), since its
inception in 1925, has had as its principal objective the development of internationally …

The charge of Task Group 186 (TG‐186) is to provide guidance for early adopters of model‐
based dose calculation algorithms (MBDCAs) for brachytherapy (BT) dose calculations to …

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

In many fields of science, high-dimensional integration is required. Numerical methods have
been developed to evaluate these complex integrals. We introduce the code i-flow, a Python …

This topical review provides an up-to-date overview of the theoretical and practical aspects
of therapeutic kilovoltage x-ray beam dosimetry. Kilovoltage x-ray beams have the property …

We present DeepDose, a deep learning framework for fast dose calculations in radiation
therapy. Given a patient anatomy and linear-accelerator IMRT multi-leaf-collimator shape or …

This study aims to compute and measure the linear attenuation coefficients of two
biomaterials used in the human body as synthetic materials. These are used as bone …

This work proposes a generic method for modeling scanned ion beam delivery systems,
without simulation of the treatment nozzle and based exclusively on beam data library (BDL) …
