Introduction: The dose calculation plays a crucial role in many aspects of contemporary clinical radiotherapy treatment planning process. For example, MC simulations (MCSs) are used to aid in the design of radiotherapy devices or to understand their properties with a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation Definition of the MC method Abstract. The use of the Monte Carlo method to simulate radiation transport has become the most accurate means of predicting absorbed dose distributions and other quantities Overview. Abstract: Monte Carlo techniques for radiation transport in materials are described and several examples of their use in modern radiotherapy dosimetry and treatment planning Abstract.

The use of the Monte Carlo method to simulate radiation transport has become the most accurate means of predicting absorbed dose distributions and other quantities of interest in radiation treatments of cancer patients using either external or radionuclide radiotherapy Monte Carlo (MC) simulations play an important role in radiotherapy, especially as a method to evaluate physical properties that are either impossible or difficult to measure.
