Fast CPU-based Monte Carlo simulation for radiotherapy dose calculation.
Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations are considered to be the most accurate method for calculating dose distributions in radiotherapy. Its clinical application, however, still is limited by the long runtimes conventional implementations of MC algorithms require to deliver sufficiently accurate results on high resolution imaging data. In order to overcome this obstacle we developed the software-package ...
متن کاملGPU-based fast Monte Carlo simulation for radiotherapy dose calculation.
Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is commonly considered to be the most accurate dose calculation method in radiotherapy. However, its efficiency still requires improvement for many routine clinical applications. In this paper, we present our recent progress toward the development of a graphics processing unit (GPU)-based MC dose calculation package, gDPM v2.0. It utilizes the parallel computation ab...

متن کاملRadioiodine (131-I) treatment for Graves’ disease: Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation for patient personalized dose estimation
Background: Reliable estimation of radiation-absorbed dose is necessary to evaluate the benefits and the risks of radiopharmaceuticals used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes in nuclear medicine. Materiel and Methods: This study included 47 patients treated with iodine-131 for Graves’ disease. A comparative study between Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation and MIRD formalism was carried out to ev...
متن کاملreview of fast monte carlo codes for dose calculation in treatment planning
an important need in radiation therapy is a fast and accurate treatment planning system. this system using ct data and characteristics of the radiation beam, calculates the dose in all points of the patient’s volume. two main factors in planning system are “accuracy” and “speed”. according to these factors, various generation of treatment planning systems are developed. this article is the re...
