Monte Carlo techniques for patient specific verification of complex radiation therapy treatments including TBI, VMAT and SBRT lung

The main objective of this thesis is to develop Monte Carlo (MC) techniques for verification of complex radiation therapy treatments with emphasis on total body irradiation (TBI) and Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). This work was motivated by an initial study including ten non-small cell lun...
