A study of the irradiation technique used for the external beam radiotherapy of retinoblastoma
L. Brualla, P. A. Mayorga, A. Flühs +3
Purpose: Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common eye tumor in childhood and can be treated external radiotherapy. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the adequacy of Monte Carlo…
Monte Carlo study for designing a dedicated `D'-shaped collimator used in the external beam radiotherapy of retinoblastoma patients
P. A. Mayorga, L. Brualla, W. Sauerwein +1
Purpose: The purpose of the present article is to propose a modified version of the D-shaped collimator used at the Univ. Hosp. of Essen for retinoblastoma treatment that reduces e…
Testing Monte Carlo absolute dosimetry formalisms for a small field `D'-shaped collimator used in retinoblastoma external beam radiotherapy
P. A. Mayorga, L. Brualla, A. Flühs +2
Purpose: To investigate the validity of two Monte Carlo simulation absolute dosimetry approaches in the case of a small field dedicated `D'-shaped collimator used for the retinobla…
Computation of the electron beam quality factors for the NE2571, NE2571A and NE2581A thimble ionization chambers using PENELOPE
F. Erazo, L. Brualla, A. M. Lallena
The quality correction factor for electron beams was calculated for three thimble ionization chambers, namely, NE2571, NE2571A and NE2581A. The Monte Carlo code PENEL…
A geometrical model for the Monte Carlo simulation of the TrueBeam linac
Miguel Rodriguez, Josep Sempau, Antonella Fogliata +3
Monte Carlo (MC) simulation of linacs depends on the accurate geometrical description of the head. The geometry of the Varian TrueBeam (TB) linac is not available to researchers. I…
Quantum Monte Carlo Algorithm Based on Two-Body Density Functional Theory for Fermionic Many-Body Systems: Application to 3He
Balazs Hetenyi, L. Brualla, S. Fantoni
We construct a quantum Monte Carlo algorithm for interacting fermions using the two-body density as the fundamental quantity. The central idea is mapping the interacting fermionic…
