Abstract

With the advancement of radiotherapy techniques, we find some challenges in small field dosimetry that are widely used in head and neck treatments, so computer simulations with the Monte Carlo method, already well established in medical physics, are a great tool for studying small field dosimetry. The present work aims to report the validate of the geometry model used for the simulations of a 6 MV LINAC beam, in addition to estimating the TPS, PDD and PDD 20,10 curves for several regular and small fields, allowing comparisons with experimental data .
