Grid block design based on monte carlo simulated dosimetry, the linear quadratic and Hug–Kellerer radiobiological models

Purpose: The clinical efficacy of Grid therapy has been examined by several investigators. In this project, the hole diameter and hole spacing in Grid blocks were examined to determine the optimum parameters that give a therapeutic advantage. Methods: The evaluations were performed using Monte Car...
