Monte Carlo for TPS?

RapidBrachyMCTPS (GEANT4): Famulari et al 2018 Phys. Med. Biol. 63 175007

o

DICOM-RT image data and structure set imported using VTK

o

GUI serves as a viewer for all data parsed from DICOM-RT

o

GUI also serves as a front end GEANT4 software tool (no GEANT4 experience

required)

o

source and applicator libraries available through the GUI

o

CT numbers converted to density and material for each voxel via user-specified

data. Segmentation can also be performed based on the patients structure set

o

patient data is saved using the egsphant file format

o

the user can change various simulation settings, physics options, and scoring

options via the GUI

o

the GUI also incorporates some (basic) treatment planning functionalities

(simulated annealing-based optimization with dose constraints)
