Reduction of Dose Calculation Errors For Patients With Metal Implants Receiving Photon Radiation Therapy
… degrade dose calculation accuracy. Metal based-energy deposition kernels are a potential solution for the calculation errors associated with the limitations of the convolution/superposition (C/S) dose calculation method as they better model photon interactions and scatter in metals than …

The application of parallel processing to radiotherapy dose computation
… of the correct dose to patients undergoing high-energy x-ray radiotherapy treatment for cancer requires accurate simulation of photon beams. Current algorithms using equivalent depth or tissue-air ratio (TAR) correction techniques fail to accurately model electron transport, and hence show …
