Monte Carlo Simulation of a Linear Accelerator and Electron Beam Parameters Used in Radiotherapy
Introduction: In recent decades, several Monte Carlo codes have been introduced for research and medical applications. These methods provide both accurate and detailed calculation of particle transport from linear accelerators. The main drawback of Monte Carlo techniques is the extremely long computing time that is required in order to obtain a dose distribution with good statistical accuracy. ...
متن کاملa comparison between gate and mcnpx monte carlo codes in simulation of medical linear accelerator
radiotherapy dose calculations can be evaluated by monte carlo (mc) simulations with acceptable accuracy for dose prediction in complicated treatment plans. in this work, standard, livermore and penelope electromagnetic (em) physics packages of geant4 application for tomographic emission (gate) 6.1 were compared versus monte carlo n-particle extended (mcnpx) 2.6 in simulation of 6 mv photon lin...
متن کاملLocalization of electron virtual SSD in a Siemens-Primus linear accelerator: Comparison of measurements with Monte Carlo simulation
Introduction: Because of importance of impact of the Source to Surface Distance (SSD) in determining of monitor unit for electron-therapy, it is essential to know the Virtual Source Position (VSP) for electron beam for a linear therapeutic accelerator for each energy and field size. , especially using the Khan method (photo distance squared method) And compare the results with...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo Simulation of Photon Beam Generated by a Linear Accelerator
ntroduction: Monte Carlo simulation is the most accurate method of simulating radiation transport and predicting doses at different points of interest in radiotherapy. A great advantage of the Monte Carlo method compared to the deterministic methods is the ability to deal accurately with any complex geometry. Its disadvantage is the extremely long computing time r...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of Electron Beams produced by LIAC Intraoperative Radiation Therapy Accelerator
Background: One of the main problems of dedicated IORT accelerators is to determine dosimetric characteristics of the electron beams. Monte Carlo simulation of IORT accelerator head and produced beam will be useful to improve the accuracy of beam dosimetry.Materials and Methods: Liac accelerator head was modeled using the BEAMnrcMonte Carlo simulation system. Phase-space files were generated at...
