Evaluation of the dose calculation accuracy in intensity‐modulated radiation therapy for mesothelioma, focusing on low doses to the contralateral lung

This study compares Monte Carlo (MC) with conventional treatment planning system (TPS) calculations. The EGS4nrc MC code, BEAMnrc, was commissioned to simulate a Varian 21Ex Linac. The accuracy of the simulations, including points blocked by the jaws, was evaluated by comparing MC with ion chamber a...
