Evaluation of the PEREGRINE Monte Carlo dose calculation code for 6 MV photon beams

The accuracy of conventional dose calculation algorithms employed in external photonbeam treatment planning is limited by their inability to fully model the radiation source andaccount for the electron fluence perturbations which occur in regions of non-uniform density.In this work, we evaluated the...
