Abstract

GAYOL, A.  and  VALENTE, M.. Analytical and Monte Carlo simulation study of the influence of strong magnetic fields on the path of electrons with energy typical of MRI-LINAC radiotherapy. An. AFA [online]. 2022, vol.33, n.1, pp.6-11. ISSN 0327-358X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.31527/analesafa.2022.33.1.6.

The present work reports on the feasibility and reliability of the Monte Carlo FLUKA and PENELOPE main codes to assess electron trajectory in presence of strong magnetic fields. The obtained results confirm the ability of FLUKA and PENELOPE to model the alterations in the electron trajectories due to external magnetic field effects, also demonstrating an excellent agreement between both codes and with the theoretical-analytical model.

Keywords : IGRT; magnetic fields; Monte Carlo simulation.
