Impact of cardio-synchronous brain pulsations on Monte Carlo calculated doses for synchrotron micro- and mini-beam radiation therapy
Francisco Manchado de Sola, Manuel Vilches, Yolanda Prezado +1
Purpose: To assess the effects of brain movements induced by heartbeat on dose distributions in synchrotron micro- and mini-beam radiaton therapy and to develop a model to help gui…
Monte Carlo simulation of the electron transport through thin slabs: A comparative study of PENELOPE, GEANT3, GEANT4, EGSnrc and MCNPX
M. Vilches, S. Garcia-Pareja, R. Guerrero +2
The Monte Carlo simulation of the electron transport through thin slabs is studied with five general purpose codes: PENELOPE, GEANT3, GEANT4, EGSnrc and MCNPX. The different materi…
A simplified model of the source channel of the Leksell GammaKnife tested with PENELOPE
Feras M. O. Al-Dweri, Antonio M. Lallena, Manuel Vilches
Monte Carlo simulations using the code PENELOPE have been performed to test a simplified model of the source channel geometry of the Leksell GammaKnife. The character…
A Method to Determine the In-Air Spatial Spread of Clinical Electron Beams
M. Vilches, J. C. Zapata, D. Guirado +3
We propose and analyze in detail a method to measure the in-air spatial spread parameter of clinical electron beams. Measurements are performed at the center of the beam and below…
