Dose Calculation in Static and Rotational IMRT
Brussels October 8th, 2015
-9-
Monte Carlo simulations
of a linac with BEAMnrc
allow separate dose
calculation for
primary
photons, secondary
photons
(‘head scatter’)
and
contaminant
electrons
Is it really important to focus
mainly
on radiation
transport in the patient?
The following slides:
Appropriate modelling of what happens in the accelerator head is of
major importance for dose calculation accuracy!
