PRIMO Monte Carlo software in clinical photon-beam dosimetry: a scoping review
Unpublished manuscript in preparation for journal submission. Restricted-access record deposited for authorship and date documentation only. Scoping review (JBI guidance, PRISMA-ScR) of the use of PRIMO, a free graphical Monte Carlo system coupling PENELOPE/DPM to a library of linac head geometries, in clinical photon-beam dosimetry. Sixty-one studies (66 reports) from 2013–2026 were included after searches of PubMed, Europe PMC, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, Crossref, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, IEEE Xplore and BVS/LILACS.
