Zusammenfassung: | This study compares the PRIMO and GATE Monte Carlo simulation toolkits for modeling photon beams from a TrueBeam STx Linac used in radiation therapy. Various beam configurations were evaluated against Varian's Golden Beam Data using the Gamma Index method. Both toolkits demonstrated good agreement overall, with GATE generally achieving higher gamma pass rates for percent depth dose curves than PRIMO. |
