Development of the Electron and Photon Transport Code for Dose Calculations on GPU and Benchmarking with EGSnrc Simulation for Radiotherapy, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Sohrabpour, Mostafa (Supervisor)
Abstract
Almost half of all cancer patients receive radiation therapy as main or part of the treatment process. Before performing radiation therapy, first it is necessary to determine the patient’s treatment plan and estimate the outcome of it based on the dose distribution. The quality of treatment is dependent on the accuracy of dosimetry calculations that lies in Monte Carlo algorithms. Unfortunately, most of the computation time is long and not suitable for clinical applications. On the other hand, a real treatment planning will be possible if all aspects of radiation therapy should be considered. The radiation source that is obtained from a medical linear accelerator head is one of these...
