Abstract :
Introduction of a Monte Carlo dose calculation method of radiotherapy based on CT image using DPM (dose planning method). Rewriting DPM based on Monte Carlo method to calculate dose for real patient CT data. Dose calculation visualization results are shown by 2D and 3D curves. It is a hopeful research project. This way permits us to obtain quick and accurate results and get evident visible results. The results have shown that this method is correct and effective and is capable of enhancing the level of radiotherapy.
