Abstract:Purpose: At AAPM 2010, we presented the concept of using Cloud Computing to speed up clinical Monte Carlo calculations. Cloud Computing refers to a set of technologies that offers on‐demand computing resources using a pay‐as‐you‐go pricing model. We presented a feasibility study that included a variety of clinical relevant calculations using protons, electrons, and photons in water and a voxel patient geometry (Zubal phantom). While our initial study was designed for proof‐of‐concept, this research presents a … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
