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
Description of individual particles
•Explicit treatment head modelling
yielding
phase space
of individual
4
particles
Description of multiple sources
•Explicit treatment head modelling
yielding fluence distributions
•Dose calculations from fluence using
kernel superpositions OR explicit
transport calculations
Mixed approaches also possible!
