Proton beam in heterogenous media
Key Investigators
- Maxime Desplanques, MGH / Politecnico di Milano
- Kevin Wang, PMH
- Greg Sharp, MGH
Project Description
Objective
- The proton dose calculation module currently supports only a ray-trace algorithm
- A pencil-beam algorithm that properly models lateral scattering has been developed
Approach, Plan
- Several stages of development are needed:
- Add dose calculation algorithm selection widget to UI
- Add beam modeling options to UI
- Hook up calculation methods to new UI widgets
- Adapt the Proton Pencil Beam Algorithm to a Photon Beam Algorithm
