Advanced Physics for Brachytherapy 2018

Level 2: Monte Carlo

• Seven state-of-the-art MC codes have been considered: – MCNP6 – MCNP5 – Penelope – Geant4 – egs_brachy – Algebra b(G4-based code) – BrachyDose

• Collisional kerma was scored using (201) 3 1 mm 3 cubic voxels.

• Number of photons simulated were in the range 10 10 – 10 11 .
