Multileaf collimators (MLCs) are essential in radiotherapy, and their modeling in the treatment planning system directly affects dose accuracy. This study compares the performance of the Enhanced Leaf Model (ELM) in Eclipse v18.1 with the Simple Leaf Model (S...

To assess the effect of Monte Carlo (MC) grid resolution on dose estimation in cranial radiotherapy across different tumor types.

In combined external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and brachytherapy treatments, the ICRU 89 and GEC-ESTRO guidelines establish the use of EQD2 for radiobiological assessment. However, clinical verification is currently often restricted to volumetric paramete...
