Comparison between Acuros XB and Brainlab Monte Carlo algorithms for photon dose calculation.

Document type:
Comparative Study; Journal Article

Abstract:
The Acuros® XB dose calculation algorithm by Varian and the Monte Carlo algorithm XVMC by Brainlab were compared with each other and with the well-established AAA algorithm, which is also from Varian.First, square fields to two different artificial phantoms were applied: (1) a "slab phantom" with a 3 cm water layer, followed by a 2 cm bone layer, a 7 cm lung layer, and another 18 cm water layer and (2) a "lung phantom" with water surrounding an eccentric lung block. For the slab phantom, depth-d...     »
