Analysis of Radiation Dose Distribution Inhomogenity Effects in Gamma Knife Radiosurgery using Geant4
Abstract
The Monte Carlo method is widely used in the Gamma Knife dose distribution calculations. In this study, Monte-Carlo simulation with Geant4 was applied to determine Leksell Gamma Knife dose distribution for homogeneous solid water and heterogeneous brain phantoms, and primarily focused on the differences arising from the effects of inhomogeneity. The relative dose graphs were displayed for different collimator diameters. The dose values from the...
