Adaptive step size algorithm to increase efficiency of proton macro Monte Carlo dose calculation

PURPOSE: To provide fast and accurate dose calculation in voxelized geometries for proton radiation therapy by implementing an adaptive step size algorithm in the proton macro Monte Carlo (pMMC) method. METHODS: The in-house developed local-to-global MMC method for proton dose calculation is extende...
