FLUKA particle therapy tool for Monte Carlo independent calculation of scanned proton and carbon ion beam therapy.

While Monte Carlo (MC) codes are considered as the gold standard for dosimetric calculations, the availability of user friendly MC codes suited for particle therapy is limited. Based on the FLUKA MC code and its graphical user interface (GUI) Flair, we developed an easy-to-use tool which enables simple and reliable simulations for particle therapy. In this paper we provide an overview of functionalities of the tool and with the presented clinical, proton and carbon ion therapy examples we demonstrate its reliability and the usability in the clinical environment and show its flexibility for research purposes.
