Proton Monte Carlo dose calculation now part of RayStation
RayStation 6, the latest version of RaySearch’s innovative treatment planning system, introduces a Monte Carlo dose engine for proton pencil beam scanning (PBS) plans, which can be used in parallel with the existing pencil beam dose engine. The engine brings an additional level of precision without compromising on speed.
Monte Carlo dose planning is one of the important new proton therapy features that RaySearch will be demonstrating this week at the PTCOG conference in Yokohama, Japan.
Monte Carlo dose calculation is based on simulating the transport of individual particles. This
