Deterministic method of photon radiotherapy dose calculation / 中华放射肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Deterministic method is a numerical calculation method based on photon-electron coupled transport with high computational accuracy and speed, which has been widely applied in photon radiotherapy dose calculation in recent years. However, this method has been introduced into radiotherapy for only a short period of time, which has been rarely studied in China, and systematic understanding of its characteristics is still lacking. In this article, the principles of deterministic method, current development state and clinical application were reviewed, aiming to provide reference for carrying out relevant research.
