Development of an accurate Monte Carlo treatment plan calculation framework for the purpose of developing dose calculation error predictors for a widely implemented clinical algorithm

Creator:

Egan, Alexander J.

Abstract:

Monte Carlo (MC) algorithms are widely accepted as the most accurate method to calculate dose in a patient geometry. For this work the EGSnrc MC code was used as a benchmark for the identification of dose calculation errors produced by the widely implemented analytical anisotropic algorithm (AAA). By correlating the...
