Abstract

The usage of homogeneous phantom in the calibration of LINAC is the standard in radiotherapy. However, a homogeneous phantom cannot accurately represent the complexity of the human body. This study was conducted to perform a Monte Carlo simulation of electron beam irradiation on an inhomogeneous phantom and then compare the resulting dose distribution values, in the form of PDD, with the PDD values obtained from a homogeneous phantom. Irradiation was performed with a 6.6 MeV electron beam on an inhomogeneous phantom resembling the human body. It was discovered that there is a significant difference between the R100 and R50 values of the inhomogeneous phantom in comparison to the homogeneous water phantom. The R100 value of the inhomogeneous value differs by 53.33% compared to the homogeneous phantom, while the R50 value differs by 41.07%. This indicates the influence of electron beam interaction with the inhomogeneous phantom on the resulting dose distribution. In the PDD curve, it is observed that the electron beam passing through the inhomogeneous medium experiences a greater loss of kinetic energy compared to the homogeneous medium. It was found that there’ a significant difference between the PDD values generated in the inhomogeneous phantom compared to the homogeneous phantom.

Abstract

Monte Carlo (MC) is widely recognized as the most accurate method for dosimetry analysis in radiotherapy due to its precision. However, successful MC dose calculation hinges upon the validation of the linac model employed in simulations. This study aims to verify the PRIMO model of the Varian Clinac iX and to determine the optimal initial electron energy. The comparison of one-dimensional dose distribution between simulations and measurements serves as the foundation for assessment. The Varian Clinac iX on 6 MV photon beam was meticulously modeled with the initial electron energies spanned from 5.2 to 5.8 MeV in increments of 0.2 MeV. The dose calculation were performed for a field size of 10 cm × 10 cm and a source-to-surface distance (SSD) of 100 cm. The Dose Planning Method (DPM) was adopted as the simulation engine for expedited MC simulation. A number of particle histories–approximately 4.0 × 108–were simulated, resulting in the generation of around 109 particles from the linac head. The investigation revealed that an initial electron energy of 5.8 MeV achieves good agreement with measurement by attaining the smallest difference in percentage depth dose (PDD) of about 0.98%. The lateral dose deviation of approximately 4.63% serves to validate the precision of the secondary collimator design. Additionally, a comparative analysis of DPM and PENELOPE for dose calculation was conducted. In contrast to the PENELOPE, the DPM speeds up simulation time by approximately 3.5 times, reduced statistical uncertainties to 0.59% and afford better accuracy in dose calculation. The result underscore the suitability of the PRIMO model for MC simulation for dose calculation, given its robust agreement with the measurements.
