Automation of Monte Carlo-based treatment plan verification for proton therapy.

CONCLUSION: An automated framework for running MC calculations was developed which enables the calculation of dose and linear energy transfer within a clinically relevant workflow and timeline. The models and framework were validated against patient specific QA measurements and exhibited excellent agreement. Before this implementation, execution was prohibitively complex for an untrained individual and its use restricted to a research environment. PMID: 32452657 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
