Monte Carlo calculations supporting patient plan verification in proton therapy

Monte Carlo calculations supporting patient plan verification in proton therapy

Patient’s treatment plan verification covers substantial amount of the quality assurance (QA) resources, this is especially true for Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT). The use of Monte Carlo (MC) simulations in supporting QA has been widely discussed and several methods have been proposed. I...
