The authors have validated a GEANT4 simulated IAEA-compliant phase space of the TrueBeam linac for the 6 MV beam obtained using a high accuracy geometry implementation from CAD. These files are publicly available and can be used for further research.
Multileaf-collimator blocking for primary breast treatment is similar to conventional blocking, and the transition from one technique to another should be uneventful. The transmission dose to the contralateral breast is decreased with the multileaf collimator.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
