Absorbed dose distribution in human eye simulated by FOTELP-VOX code and verified by volumetric modulated arc therapy treatment plan
This paper illustrates the potential of the FOTELP-VOX code, a modification of the general-purpose FOTELP code, combining Monte Carlo techniques to simulate particle transportation from an external source through the internal organs, resulting in a 3-D absorbed dose distribution. The study...

| description | This paper illustrates the potential of the FOTELP-VOX code, a modification
of the general-purpose FOTELP code, combining Monte Carlo techniques to
simulate particle transportation from an external source through the
internal organs, resulting in a 3-D absorbed dose distribution. The study
shows the comparison of results obtained by FOTELP software and the
volumetric modulated arc therapy technique. This planning technique with two
full arcs was applied, and the plan was created to destroy the diseased
tissue in the eye tumor bed and avoid damage to surrounding healthy tissue,
for one patient. The dose coverage, homogeneity index, conformity index of
the target, and the dose volumes of critical structures were calculated.
Good agreement of the results for absorbed dose in the human eye was
obtained using these two techniques. |
