Optimisation of variance reduction techniques in EGSnrc Monte Carlo for a 6 MV photon beam of an Elekta Synergy linear accelerator
Objective: Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are considered to be the most accurate form of algorithm for dose calculation. However, the main obstacle to using MC, especially in clinical routine, is the simulation time needed to gain results below a desirable level of uncertainty. Variance reduction tech...
