Introduction: The increasing complexity of radiotherapy equipment (e.g. IMRT) requires increasing
accuracy in QA procedures. The system used to verify the adherence between planned
and delivered dose should be independent of the treatment planning system. Monte Carlo
(MC) algorithms are the reference choice. They allow computing the dose taking into
account patient heterogeneities and dosimetric effects generated by multi-leaf collimators
(MLCs). In line with these motivations, we developed a MC-based tool for dosimetric
purposes and the independent verification of planned dose distributions.
