Monte Carlo for TPS?

egs_brachy (EGSnrc): Chamberland et al 2016 Phys. Med. Biol. 61 8214

o

includes a library of geometry models for many brachytherapy sources, in addition

to eye plaques and applicators

o

offers extensive capabilities and options

(comensurate to EGSnrc and its applications e.g.: complex geometries can be

modelled using the built-in elementary and composite geometries of egs++,

DOSXYZnrc can be used to prepare a rectilinear phantom by a CT dataset in egsphant

file format, EGS_AutoEnvelope, can be used to inscribe copies of a source geometry

inside a phantom)

but no front end GUI (so experience with EGS is required)
