Soft tissue and water substitutes for megavoltage photon beams: An EGSnrc‐based evaluation [PDF]
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2016 In this work, soft‐tissue equivalence of water, polystyrene, PMMA and water equivalence of polystyrene, and PMMA has been assessed for multiple megavoltage photon beams and field sizes. EGSnrc based Monte Carlo (MC) codes, BEAMnrc and DOSXYZnrc are used for the linac head modeling and the phantom dose calculations, respectively. Percentage depth doses (

Development and validation of a TOPAS Monte Carlo model for a 0.5 T bi‐planar Linac‐MR [PDF]
Med PhysAbstract Background MR‐guided radiotherapy enables real‐time imaging and adaptive treatment but may introduce magnetic field effects that alter dose deposition. Accurate dose calculation in such settings requires detailed Monte Carlo (MC) modeling. Purpose To develop and validate a detailed MC model of the 0.5 T bi‐planar Linac‐MR with an integrated ...
