Our institution delivers TBI using a modified Theratron 780 60Co unit. Due to limitations of our treatment planning system in calculating dose for this treatment, we have developed a fast Monte Carlo code to calculate dose distributions within the patient. The algorithm is written in C and uses voxel density information from CT images to calculate dose in heterogeneous media. To test the algori...

The goal of TBI is to deliver a homogeneous dose to the entire body, with a generally accepted range of dose uniformity being within ± 10% of the prescribed dose.
