Monte Carlo modeling of radiation dose from radiation therapy with superficial x‐rays
The study demonstrated EGSnrc's efficiency in conjunction with SmART-ATP for treatment planning. MC simulations effectively quantified bone dose enhancement during superficial x-ray radiotherapy, highlighting its importance in treatment planning and dose calculations. Clinicians should consider measuring bone depth prior to treatment to avoid excessive bone dose.
