An Efficiency Studying of an Ion Chamber Simulation Using Vriance Reduction Techniques with EGSnrc
Background: Radiotherapy is an important technique of cancer treatment using ionizing radiation. The determination of total dose in reference conditions is an important contribution to uncertainty that could achieve 2%. The source of this uncertainty comes from cavity theory that relates the in-air cavity dose and the dose to water. These correction factors are determined from Monte Carlo calcu...

Introduction Radiotherapy with small fields is used widely in newly developed techniques. Additionally, dose calculation accuracy of treatment planning systems in small fields plays a crucial role in treatment outcome. In the present study, dose calculation accuracy of two commercial treatment planning systems was evaluated against Monte Carlo method. Materials and Methods Siemens Once or linea...
متن کاملQuantum Monte Carlo Methods in the Study of Nanostructures
We describe quantum Monte Carlo methods for simulating quantum systems. These techniques are particularly well-suited for nanomaterials where quantum effects often fall outside conventional approaches. We review recent applications to quantum dots, buckyballs, and superfluid helium nanoclusters. (For Handbook of Computational Nanotechnology Encyclopedia of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology)
متن کاملHybrid Phantom Applications to Nuclear Medicine
Annually, many people are irradiated for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Assessment of radiation dose and its related risks to patients are important issues in radiation protection dosimetry. The complex mathematical calculations of the absorbed and effective doses are now done with computers. The calculations are performed with the help of anthropomorphic computational models of human bod...
