Dose Course 2018_Flipping book

Summary

• Point Kernel algorithms show small deviations versus Monte Carlo for clinical cases, much more accurate than Pencil Kernel models • Collapsed Cone inherent paralellism can efficiently use Graphical Processor Units for dose calculations literally in seconds • Accuracy (and speed...) implemention dependent, depending on the approximations used • Pencil kernel algorithms frequently used instead of point kernels, particularly in applications with optimizations, but will give errors particularly for lung cases
