Evaluation of a deterministic Boltzmann solver for radiation therapy dose calculations involving high-density hip prostheses

Acuros External Beam (Acuros XB) is a new radiation dose calculation algorithm available as part of Varian Medical Systems' radiotherapy treatment planning system, ECLIPSE. Acuros XB calculates dose distributions by finding the deterministic solution to the linear Boltzmann transport equation w...
