Clinical test cases for commissioning, QA, and benchmarking of model-based dose calculation algorithms in 192Ir HDR gynecologic tandem and ring brachytherapy
V. Peppa, M. Robitaille, F. Akbari +4
Purpose: To develop clinically relevant test cases for commissioning Model-Based Dose Calculation Algorithms (MBDCAs) for 192Ir High Dose Rate (HDR) gynecologic brachytherapy follo…
Multiscale Monte Carlo simulations of gold nanoparticle dose-enhanced radiotherapy II. Cellular dose enhancement within macroscopic tumor models
Martin P. Martinov, Elizabeth M. Fletcher, Rowan M. Thomson
Purpose: To develop and apply multiscale Monte Carlo (MC) simulations to assess variations in nucleus and cytoplasm dose enhancement factors (n,cDEFs) over tumor-scale volumes. Met…
Multiscale Monte Carlo simulations of gold nanoparticle dose-enhanced radiotherapy I. Cellular dose enhancement in microscopic models
Martin P. Martinov, Elizabeth M. Fletcher, Rowan M. Thomson
Purpose: The introduction of Gold NanoParticles (GNPs) in radiotherapy requires consideration of GNP size, location, and quantity, and more, as well as beam quality. The work is pr…
