Daren Sawkey

29/09/2017, 09:05

Parallel 8B - Status of biasing

In radiotherapy, biasing of bremsstrahlung photons can lead to large speed-up. But electrons sometimes hit the patient, with large weights compared to the photon ones. A geometrical biasing may alleviate the effect, but this could not be done so far.
