ESTRO course Dose Modelling and Verification 2017

What algorithms can different beam data sets support?

Beam data objects

Fluence/Dose engines

Dose profiles & Output factors

•No explicit treatment head modelling •Dose calculations based on correction factors from geometrical scaling and attenuation •Explicit treatment head modelling yielding phase space of individual particles •Explicit treatment head modelling yielding fluence distributions •Dose calculations from fluence using kernel superpositions OR explicit transport calculations

Description of individual particles

Description of multiple sources

Mixed approaches also possible!
