A graphical user interface for Monte Carlo dose calculations for brachytherapy with egs_brachy
eb_gui successfully bridges clinical data with egs_brachy MC simulations, facilitating advanced, patient-specific dose evaluations in accordance with TG186 recommendations. By releasing eb_gui as open-source software on GitHub, this study promotes widespread adoption within the clinical community, supporting the move toward more accurate and personalized brachytherapy treatments. This tool represents a significant advancement, enabling clinicians to conduct high-quality MC dose calculations efficiently.
