Multi-Source model implementation concept

Multi-source modelling give energy fluence map s for the direct beam and the head scattered beam . Particle characteristics to feed the dose engine are then deduced through: • Number of particles – matrix element value (which has to consider partial source blocking while being computed!) • Direction – as if the particles were coming directly from respective source to the matrix element, angular spread can be included • Energy – given by a beam spectrum, off axis variations may be included • Position – matrix element location
