Application to Dose Calculations
Storyboard
Since the Boltzmann equation includes collisions between particles, it is possible to estimate the energy delivered to the tissue and thus the dose in radiotherapy. Greater efficiency is achieved by working with particle distributions (photons, electrons and positrons) rather than individual particles as in the case of Monte Carlo. The introduction of cells using the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) should also allow the possibility of choosing the precision according to the computational resources that are made available. This means that the algorithm should be able to pass continuously from a system equivalent to Pencil Beam, Convolution to Monte Carlo.
