Monte 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 کاملMonte Carlo Simulations for Dosimetry in Prostate Radiotherapy with Different Intravesical Volumes and Planning Target Volume Margins
In prostate radiotherapy, the influence of bladder volume variation on the dose absorbed by the target volume and organs at risk is significant and difficult to predict. In addition, the resolution of a typical medical image is insufficient for visualizing the bladder wall, which makes it more difficult to precisely evaluate the dose to the bladder wall. This simulation study aimed to quantitat...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Device Simulations
As semiconductor devices are scaled into nanoscale regime, first velocity saturation starts to limit the carrier mobility due to pronounced intervalley scattering, and when the device dimensions are scaled to 100 nm and below, velocity overshoot starts to dominate the device behavior leading to larger ON-state currents. Alongside with the developments in the semiconductor nanotechnology, in rec...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulations.
A description of Monte Carlo methods for simulation of proteins is given. Advantages and disadvantages of the Monte Carlo approach are presented. The theoretical basis for calculating equilibrium properties of biological molecules by the Monte Carlo method is presented. Some of the standard and some of the more recent ways of performing Monte Carlo on proteins are presented. A discussion of the...
