| description | The FOTELP-VOX program is a Monte Carlo simulation tool designed for precise
radiation dose calculations in medical physics. It allows for the accurate
modeling of photon, electron, and positron transport through human tissues
by using CT scan data to define patient anatomy. This study presents the
application of FOTELP-VOX in simulating absorbed dose distributions in
various clinical scenarios, including radiotherapy treatment planning for
salivary gland tumors, eye melanoma and breast cancer. The results
demonstrate the program's capability to replicate complex dose distributions
with high accuracy, in comparison with clinical techniques like volumetric
modulated arc therapy and 3-D conformal radiotherapy. FOTELP-VOX 2024 has
demonstrated excellent performances when compared to clinical center
results, showing a variation of only 5-8 %, which confirms its accuracy in
simulating dose deposition and treatment planning. There is also the
potential for incorporating optimization techniques to further enhance the
precision and efficiency of radiotherapy treatment planning, contributing to
improved patient care outcomes. |
