[ES] El trabajo pretende analizar diferentes aspectos relacionados con la sostenibilidad de una vivienda energéticamente eficiente. El estudio se enmarca en el proyecto Azalea UPV, consistente en el diseño y construcción ...
[EN] Purpose: Some Monte Carlo simulation codes can read and write phase space files in IAEA format,
which are used to characterize accelerators, brachytherapy seeds and other radiation sources.
Moreover, as the format has ...
A calculation of the correct dose in radiation therapy requires an accurate description of the radiation source because uncertainties in characterization of the linac photon spectrum are propagated through the dose ...
Radiation therapy treatment planning based on Monte Carlo simulation provide a very accurate dose calculation compared to deterministic systems. Nowadays, Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) dosimeters ...
Los tratamientos de radioterapia planificados mediante simulación Monte Carlo proveen un cálculo de dosis muy preciso en comparación a los sistemas deterministas. En el presente trabajo, hemos utilizado el MCNP6 (código ...
[ES] Los sistemas de planificación de radioterapia que operan actualmente en hospitales comprenden algoritmos basados en simplificaciones deterministas que no tienen en cuenta correctamente el transporte lateral de electrones ...
[EN] Energy spectrum is the best descriptive function to determine photon beam quality of a Medical Linear Accelerator (LinAc). The use of realistic photon spectra in Monte Carlo simulations has a great importance to obtain ...
