dc.description.abstract | Over the last decade, dose calculations which solve the linear Boltzmann transport equations have been introduced into clinical practice and are now in widespread use. However, knowledge in the radiotherapy community concerning the details of their function is limited. This review gives a general description of the linear Boltzmann transport equations as applied to calculation of absorbed dose in clinical radiotherapy. The aim is to elucidate the principles of the method, rather than to describe a particular implementation. The literature on the performance of typical algorithms is then reviewed, in many cases with reference to Monte Carlo simulations. The review is completed with an overview of the emerging applications in the important area of MR-guided radiotherapy. | |
