Evaluating the effect of higher Monte Carlo statistical uncertainties on accumulated doses after daily adaptive fractionated radiotherapy in prostate cancer

Background and purpose: Monte Carlo (MC) based dose calculations are widely used in radiotherapy with a low statistical uncertainty, being accurate but slow. Increasing the uncertainty accelerates the calculation, but reduces quality. In online adaptive planning, however, dose is recalculated every...
