Accounting for the fringe magnetic field from the bending magnet in a Monte Carlo accelerator treatment head simulation
(American Institute of Physics, 2011)Purpose: Monte Carlo (MC) simulation can be used for accurate electron beam treatment planning and modeling. Measurement of large electron fields, with the applicator removed and secondary collimator wide open, has been ... -
Monte Carlo commissioning of clinical electron beams using large field measurements
(Institute Of Physics (IOP Publishing), 2010-07-21)Monte Carlo simulation can accurately calculate electron fluence at the patient surface and the resultant dose deposition if the initial source electron beam and linear accelerator treatment head geometry parameters are ...
