Conclusions/take-home message
 Convolution/Superposition algorithm (pre-calculated kernels)
 High accuracy with density inhomogeneities
 Collapsed Cone algorithm: why ?
 AAA : significant gain of accuracy compared to PB. Good accuracy overall
 PB: OK for prostate, head and neck (…?)
 Used to oversome limitations with irregular fields, only AAA takes lateral scatter into account
 Added-value of MC : certainly for small lung tumors, IMRT QA ?
 High level C/S sufficient in majority of cases …
