Development of a fast Monte Carlo dose calculation system for online adaptive radiation therapy quality assurance.
This article describes the development of a fast Monte Carlo dose calculating system for validating online magnetic resonance imaging radiation therapy adaptive plans with both speed and accuracy. The Monte Carlo system is based on a simplified dose planning method code that incorporates a vendor-provided head model. A validated Monte Carlo code (gPENELOPE) was used to benchmark the new system.
