متن کاملdetermination of primary electron beam parameters in a siemens primus linac using monte carlo simulation
the monte carlo method can be used to describe any technique that approximates solutions to quantitative problems through statistical sampling. this method is considered to be the most accurate method for dose calculation in radiotherapy. for complete modeling of a linear accelerator, it is required that the manufactured information covers all data, but some data such as primary electron energy...
متن کاملMonte Carlo estimation of electron contamination in a 18 MV clinical photon beam
Background: The electron contamination may reduce or even diminish the skin sparing property of the megavoltage beam. The detailed characteristics of contaminant electrons are presented for different field sizes and cases. Materials and Methods: The Monte Carlo code, MCNPX, has been used to simulate 18 MV photon beam from a Varian Linac-2300 accelerator. All dose measurements were car...
