DeepBeam: a machine learning framework for tuning the primary electron beam of the PRIMO Monte Carlo software

Abstract Background Any Monte Carlo simulation of dose delivery using medical accelerator-generated megavolt photon beams begins by simulating electrons of the primary electron beam interacting with a target. Because the electron beam characteristics of any single accelerator are unique and generall...
