Development and validation of a Monte Carlo model of a mobile accelerator for intraoperative radiation therapy
Despite the use of a hypothetical geometry, the model offers accurate dosimetric data and practical guidance for IOERT commissioning and treatment planning. It highlights potential dosimetric issues, particularly the lack of homogeneity in OARs for large-diameter applicators, and allows fine-tuning based on real-world data. Additionally, the PSFs generated in this study provide a reliable resource for simulating IORT dose distributions and analyzing the characteristics of IOERT beams.
