Conclusion:

Our findings show that the deterministic algorithm can calculate proton dose distributions in the animal scale at a similar level of accuracy as the gold standard MC codes in significantly less time. This demonstrates the potential time gain when implemented in routine preclinical practice.

Keywords: deterministic dose engine, proton, preclinical
