Macro Monte Carlo dose calculation for very high energy electron (VHEE) radiotherapy. [PDF]

Med Phys
Abstract Background Very high energy electron (VHEE) radiotherapy has gained growing interest owing to its potential to reach deep‐seated targets and induce FLASH effect. Dose calculations can be performed using analytical or Monte Carlo (MC) methods. Analytical approaches enable rapid dose computation but suffer from limited accuracy in heterogeneous ...
