MLC parameters from static fields to VMAT plans: an evaluation in a RT-dedicated MC environment (PRIMO)

MLC parameters from static fields to VMAT plans: an evaluation in a RT-dedicated MC environment (PRIMO)

Abstract Background PRIMO is a graphical environment based on PENELOPE Monte Carlo (MC) simulation of radiotherapy beams able to compute dose distribution in patients, from plans with different techniques. The dosimetric characteristics of an HD-120 MLC (Varian), simulated using PRIMO, were here com...
