Computer Simulation of Radiotherapy for Malignant Tumor
A new simulation method was developed that considered a tumor as a solid body and therapeutic response as deformation of the tumor using mechanical analogy. As radiation exposure to the tumor was related to the external force to the solid body, the geometrical change of the tumor could be estimated...
