Monte Carlo Dose Verification of an X-Ray Beam in a Virtual Water Phantom

Monte Carlo (MC) methods are widely accepted as the most accurate technique for calculating dose distributions in radiation therapy physics. Simulating the particle transport through the treatment head of a linear accelerator utilizing a MC based code is both a widespread and practical approach to...
