Deterministic linear Boltzmann transport equation
(D-LBTE) algorithm
• Model based approach have problem to account for the
effect of electron transport
-
secondary electron transport
only modeled macroscopically by
scaling of kernels
•
LBTE
is the governing equation that describes the macroscopic behavior of ionizing
particles as they travel through and interact with media
• system of the
coupled LBTE is solved
to determine the
energy deposition of
photon and electron transport
• once the
electron angular fluence
is solved, the dose in any region, i, of the problem
may be obtained through the following
• Commercialized as Acuros XB
