A single-source photon source model of a linear accelerator for Monte Carlo dose calculation.

A single-source photon source model of a linear accelerator for Monte Carlo dose calculation.

<h4>Purpose</h4>To introduce a new method of deriving a virtual source model (VSM) of a linear accelerator photon beam from a phase space file (PSF) for Monte Carlo (MC) dose calculation.<h4>Materials and methods</h4>A PSF of a 6 MV photon beam was generated by simulating the...
