Evaluation of the first commercial Monte Carlo dose calculation engine for electron beam treatment planning

The purpose of this study is to perform a clinical evaluation of the first commercial (MDS Nordion, now Nucletron) treatment planning system for electron beams incorporating Monte Carlo dose calculation module. This software implements Kawrakow’s VMC ++ voxel-based Monte Carlo calculation algorithm....
