Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the need for a targeted irradiation tool for small animals and compares its performance against a LINAC-based tool using a brachytherapy system.
- A tungsten collimator was developed and tested for its dose delivery in mouse brains, utilizing measurements and simulations to ensure accuracy and effectiveness.
- The results showed that the brachytherapy tool could precisely irradiate small areas of the mouse brain, confirming its potential use in detailed radiotherapy research for small animal studies.*
Background: Treatment planning is essential for in silico particle therapy studies. matRad is an open-source research treatment planning system (TPS) based on the local effect model, which is a type of relative biological effectiveness (RBE) model.
Purpose: This study aims to implement a microdosimetric kinetic model (MKM) in matRad and develop an automation algorithm for Monte Carlo (MC) dose recalculation using the TOPAS code.
