VARIAN CLINAC 6 MeV Photon Spectra Unfolding using a Monte Carlo Meshed Model

Abstract: Abstract. Energy spectrum is the best descriptive function to determine photon beam quality of a Medical Linear Accelerator (LinAc). The use of realistic photon spectra in Monte Carlo simulations has a great importance to obtain precise dose calculations in Radiotherapy Treatment Planning (RTP). Reconstruction of photon spectra emitted by medical accelerators from measured depth dose distributions in a water cube is an important tool for commissioning a Monte Carlo treatment planning system. Regarding this, th… Show more

“…The unstructured grid imported from Abaqus/CAE is used as the input file geometry for the MCNP6 simulation, which enables the use of different cells, allowing the construction of complex geometries and optimizing the number of cells used. The geometry model has been previously validated with experimental results(Morató et al, 2017).…”

The geometry model has been previously validated with experimental results (Morató et al, 2017). A simulation of the described LinAc configuration has been performed with the corresponding photon spectra obtained from (Sheikh-Bagheri et al, 2002), with the gantry vertically oriented.…”

“…limadors primaris. El motiu d'escollir el LinAc esmenat, recau en que, ja es disposava de la seua geometria completa, els materials es coneixien amb detall, i ja s'havia validat prèviament en un maniquí d'aigua [131]. Tot i això, el mètode és extensible per a qualsevol combinació d'energia, model d'accelerador i mida de camp.…”
