VMC++ accuracy and speed
❑
Sub-percent agreement with EGSnrc
❑
Is about 100 times faster than BEAMnrc for linac head simulations
❑
Is 50-150 times faster than EGS4/PRESTA for electron and photon beam
simulations in the patient geometry for comparable accuracy.
❑
CPU times for in-patient simulations (10x10 beam, 5 mm voxels, 2%
statistical uncertainty):
o
~30 seconds for electrons
