A study to determine the optimal input parameters for the Monte Carlo simulation of a clinical linear accelerator

Currently, commercial treatment planning systems are validated against Monte Carlo (MC) simulation in medical physics research. MC is the current gold standard to model the transport of radiation. In this study, a Monte Carlo package, Electron Gamma Shower from the National Research Council Canada (...
