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...

Hybrid classical-quantum dose computation method for radiation therapy treatment planning

Creator:

Colburn, Gabriel G.

Abstract:

Radiation therapy treatment planning and optimization requires accurate, precise, and fast computation of absorbed dose to all critical and target volumes in a patient. A new method for speeding up the computational costs of Monte Carlo dose calculations is described that employs a hybrid classical-quantum computing architecture. Representative results are...
