WE-E-BRB-09: A GPU-Based Monte Carlo QA Tool for IMRT and VMAT.
PURPOSE To develop a GPU-based Monte Carlo (MC) 3D dosimetry quality assurance (QA) tool employing patient geometry and actual delivery information. METHODS First, we generate fluence maps at all beam angles from the initial treatment plan. A GPU-based MC dose engine, gDPM, is employed for the secondary dose calculation (SDC) on patient CT. This SDC is used to verify the TPS plan dose (PD) ac...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulations to replace film dosimetry in IMRT verification.
Patient-specific verification of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans can be done by dosimetric measurements or by independent dose or monitor unit calculations. The aim of this study was the clinical evaluation of IMRT verification based on a fast Monte Carlo (MC) program with regard to possible benefits compared to commonly used film dosimetry. 25 head-and-neck IMRT plans were r...
متن کاملEvaluating Performance of Algorithms in Lung IMRT: A Comparison of Monte Carlo, Pencil Beam, Superposition, Fast Superposition and Convolution Algorithms
Background: Inclusion of inhomogeneity corrections in intensity modulated small fields always makes conformal irradiation of lung tumor very complicated in accurate dose delivery.Objective: In the present study, the performance of five algorithms via Monte Carlo, Pencil Beam, Convolution, Fast Superposition and Superposition were evaluated in lung cancer Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy plannin...
متن کاملExponentially Fast Monte Carlo Simulations for Non-equilibrium Systems
A new numerical technique is demonstrated and shown to reduce exponentially the time required for Monte Carlo simulations of non-equilibrium systems. The quasi-stationary probability distribution is computed for two model systems, and the results are compared with the asymptotically exact theory in the limit of extremely small noise intensity. Singularities of the non-equilibrium distributions ...
متن کاملMC2MABS: A Monte Carlo Model Checker for Multiagent-Based Simulations
Agent-based simulation has shown great success for the study of complex adaptive systems and could in many areas show advantages over traditional analytical methods. Due to their internal complexity, however, agent-based simulations are notoriously difficult to verify and validate. This paper presents MCMABS, a Monte Carlo Model Checker for MultiagentBased Simulations. It incorporates the idea ...
