a 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 کاملMonte 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 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 modeling of linear accelerator using distributed computing.
PURPOSE The distributed computing implementation of the EGSnrc Monte Carlo system using a computer cluster is investigated and tested. METHODS The computational performance was tested for various scenarios with different number of computers used in order to assess the efficiency of the cluster. The presented computation times and efficiencies include the linac head modeling with full simulati...
متن کاملMonte Carlo modeling of electron beams from a NEPTUN 10PC medical linear accelerator
Electron beam radiation therapy is used extensively for treating head and neck cancers to avoid the irradiation of the spinal cord. It is also used for treating chest wall malignancies to limit the irradiated volume of lungs. Calculating the dose distribution from an electron field is quite complicated because of the multiple scattering, especially in the presence of internal heterogeneities [1...
