Photon Energy Spectrum Reconstruction Based on Monte Carlo and Measured Percentage Depth Dose in Accurate Radiotherapy
In accurate radiotherapy, energy spectra of high energy x-ray greatly affect the accuracy of dose calculation. Conventional discrete method failed to realize the stable solution, and the Schiff formula could not reflect the practical geometric shape of different linac system that showed the limitation to apply to other linacs. To obtain the photon energy spectra of linac in radiotherapy effecti...
متن کاملEnergy Modulated Photon Radiotherapy: A Monte Carlo Feasibility Study.
A novel treatment modality termed energy modulated photon radiotherapy (EMXRT) was investigated. The first step of EMXRT was to determine beam energy for each gantry angle/anatomy configuration from a pool of photon energy beams (2 to 10 MV) with a newly developed energy selector. An inverse planning system using gradient search algorithm was then employed to optimize photon beam intensity of v...
متن کاملThe Effect of Breast Reconstruction Prosthesis on Photon Dose Distribution in Breast Cancer Radiotherapy
Introduction: Siliconeprosthetic implants are commonlyutilizedfor tissue replacement and breast augmentation after mastectomy. On the other hand, some patients require adjuvant radiotherapy in order to preventlocal-regional recurrence and increment ofthe overall survival. In case of recurrence, the radiation oncologist might have to irradiate the prosthesis.The aim of this study was to evaluate...
متن کاملDPM, a fast, accurate Monte Carlo code optimized for photon and electron radiotherapy treatment planning dose calculations.
A new Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm, the 'dose planning method' (DPM), and its associated computer program for simulating the transport of electrons and photons in radiotherapy class problems employing primary electron beams, is presented. DPM is intended to be a high accuracy MC alternative to the current generation of treatment planning codes which rely on analytical algorithms based on an appro...
متن کاملFast 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 ...
