Two Model Types
Knöös et al.:
A.
Models primarily based on
equivalent path length
for
inhomogeneity corrections, where
electron transport
is
not
separately
modeled
, and the density changes are sampled along
the 1D
(longitudinal)
primary rays.
Ex: Eclipse PB, OMP PB, XiO Convolution
B.
Models able to treat in an approximate way the
electron
transport as well as the secondary photon transport in the
medium
accounting for density changes, sampled along the full
three dimensions
(longitudinal and lateral)
.
Ex: Pinnacle CC, Eclipse AAA, OMP CC, XiO
Convolution/Superposition
