Development of a Geant4 based Monte Carlo algorithm to evaluate the MONACO VMAT treatment accuracy

A method to evaluate the dosimetric accuracy of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) treatment plans, generated with the MONACOTM (version 3.0) treatment planning system in realistic CT-data with an independent Geant4 based dose calculation algorithm is presented. Therefore a model of an Elekta S...
