Venue:  Classroom 304, Research Center and Biomedical Physics Conference Room, Biomedical Physics Department, Research Center Coordinator: Ahmad Nobah, MSc, DABR Faculty: Pedro Andreo, Manuel Bardies, Ahmad Nobah and Rikka Santos Prerequisite Course: CEC1 entitled “World of Medical Physics”

Target Audience:

This workshop will useful for Physicists, technologists, researchers, students and other health care professionals. The workshop will open the horizon for participants to learn more about the MC applications in diagnostic and radiotherapy fields.

Learning Objectives:

• This workshop intends to introduce the implementation of Monte Carlo simulation in clinical settings.
• In this workshop, participants will have the basic background required to initiate clinical Monte Carlo Dose calculation engine for clinical patients. This will include both information about different available Monte Carlo codes used in radiotherapy, and also basic information about the computational power required to perform such sophisticated and time consuming accurate dose calculation.
• Participant will be gradually shown how to build the linear accelerator, and will understand the different parameters required balance/optimize the outcomes; the outcomes are simply the high dose calculation accuracy with the optimal processing time.
• Participant will then start the result analysis and dose evaluation compared dose calculated from the treatment planning system (TPS) with that calculated by MC engine.
