Modelling

Modeling in radiotherapy refers to the use of mathematical and computational models to simulate various aspects of radiation therapy treatment.These models are used to determine the distribution of radiation dose within the patient’s body. They take into account factors such as the patient’s anatomy, the type and energy of the radiation beam, and the treatment delivery technique. Dose calculation models help ensure that the prescribed dose is accurately delivered to the tumor while sparing healthy tissues. The use of modeling in radiotherapy allows clinicians and physicists to better understand the intricacies of radiation therapy and make informed decisions regarding treatment planning and delivery. By simulating different scenarios and evaluating potential outcomes, modeling contributes to improving the accuracy and effectiveness of radiotherapy treatments for cancer patients.
