    • Computational Biology

    Background:

    • Accurate three-dimensional (3D) radiation dose calculations are crucial for effective cancer therapy.
    • Traditional methods often struggle with complex beam geometries and patient anatomies.
    • Minicomputer-based calculations were previously limited in speed and scope.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel 3D dose calculation method for photon and neutron beam therapy.
    • To enable accurate dose distribution assessment in complex patient geometries.
    • To compare the efficacy of the new 3D method against 2D techniques.
