TL;DR: The charge of Task Group 186 (TG-186) is to provide guidance for early adopters of model-based dose calculation algorithms (MBDCAs) for brachytherapy (BT) dose calculations to ensure practice uniformity, with explicit recommendations based on the current state of knowledge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual-energy CT-based material extraction for tissue segmentation in Monte Carlo dose calculations
TL;DR: An improved material segmentation using dual-energy CT-based material extraction is presented and offers a significantly higher accuracy compared to the conventional single-energy segmentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of GEANT4, an object-oriented Monte Carlo toolkit, for simulations in medical physics.
TL;DR: GEANT4 is a promising Monte Carlo simulation toolkit for low-energy medical applications and is compared to published results based on three Monte Carlo codes widely used in medical physics: MCNP, EGS4, and EGSnrc.
Journal ArticleDOI
A stoichiometric calibration method for dual energy computed tomography.
TL;DR: It is shown that with a rigorous definition of the EAN, the stoichiometric calibration method can be successfully adapted to DECT with significant accuracy improvements with respect to the literature without the need for spectrum measurements or empirical beam hardening corrections.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the characterization and uncertainty analysis of radiochromic film dosimetry
TL;DR: A method that takes into account the correlation between fit parameters as well as single dose values in order to obtain accurate uncertainties in absolute and relative measurements is provided.
