A simplified Monte Carlo algorithm considering large‐angle scattering for fast and accurate calculation of proton dose

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to improve dose calculation accuracy of the simplified Monte Carlo (SMC) algorithm in the low‐dose region. Because conventional SMC algorithms calculate particle scattering in consideration of multiple Coulomb scattering (MCS) only, they approximate lateral dose...
