Automatic, machine‐agnostic, convolution‐based beam, and fluence modeling for Monte Carlo independent dose calculation
The proposed machine-agnostic, convolution-based beam, and fluence modeling approach enabled efficient automatic commissioning for a wide range of clinical external photon beam machines. The fluence map-based dose calculation approached sub-minute dose calculation efficiency for arbitrary treatment plans. The proposed method has the potential to accelerate the adoption of MC calculation-based QA for online adaptive radiotherapy.
