    Monte Carlo evaluation of the dose perturbation effect of various hip prostheses during pelvic megavoltage photon radiotherapy 

    Mahuvava, Courage (University of the Free State, 2016-11)
    English: Introduction: Hip prostheses (HPs) are routinely used in hip augmentation surgery to replace painful or dysfunctional hip joints, especially in the elderly population. A number of patients with HPs are undergoing ...

    Evaluation of a commercial radiation oncology treatment planning system against Monte Carlo simulated dose distributions 

    Shaw, William (University of the Free State, 2007-11)
    English: A method is described in this study whereby dose distributions calculated by a treatment planning system (TPS) were evaluated by using dose distributions calculated with Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The MC ...
