Multivariate error modeling and uncertainty quantification using importance (re-)weighting for Monte Carlo simulations in particle transport
Pia Stammer, Lucas Burigo, Oliver Jäkel +2
Fast and accurate predictions of uncertainties in the computed dose are crucial for the determination of robust treatment plans in radiation therapy. This requires the solution of…

Efficient uncertainty quantification for Monte Carlo dose calculations using importance (re-)weighting
Pia Stammer, Lucas Burigo, Oliver Jäkel +2
The high precision and conformity of intensity-modulated particle therapy (IMPT) comes at the cost of susceptibility to treatment uncertainties in particle range and patient set-up…
