Radiation treatment planning or administration electron modeling

摘要

Radiation treatment planning and administration can include a Monte Carlo computer simulation tool to simulate photo-generated electrons in tissue. In the simulation, electrons that have left tissue voxels and entered air voxels can be evaluated to identify electrons that are circling along a spiraling trajectory in the air voxels. After at least one full spiraling circumference or other specified distance has been traversed using a detailed electron transport model, a simpler linear ballistic motion model can be instituted. This speeds simulation while accurately accounting for spiraling electrons that re-enter tissue voxels.
