Monte Carlo dose calculation for photon and electron radiotherapy on dynamically deforming anatomy
A novel method for MC dose calculation for photon- and electron-based treatments on dynamically deforming anatomy is successfully developed and validated. Applying DefVoxMC to clinically motivated cases, we found that breathing motion has non-negligible impact on the dosimetric plan quality.
