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 کاملSiemens primus accelerator simulation using EGSnrc Monte Carlo code and gel dosimetry validation with optical computed tomography system by EGSnrc code
Monte Carlo method is the most accurate method for simulation of radiation therapy equipment. The linear accelerators (linac) are currently the most widely used machines in radiation therapy centers. Monte Carlo modeling of the Siemens Primus linear accelerator in 6 MeV beams was used. Square field size of 10 × 10 cm2 produced by the jaws was compared with TLD. Head simulation of Siemens accele...
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 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...
