Abstract
Abstract
A treatment planning system (TPS) plays a major role for a successful radiotherapy, directly influencing the calculated dose accuracy, and thus the treatment quality. Multifunctional Arithmetic for Neutron Transportation Analysis (NeuMANTA), a TPS especially designed for complete workflow for BNCT, which aims to provide high precision dose calculation with maximizing the efficacy. The dedicated MC engine COMPASS seamlessly embedded in NeuMANTA can be called for dose distribution calculation in background. Optimized cross-section library, parallel computing, and various variance reduction techniques are applied to speed up the particle transportations. A benchmark was performed between NeuMANTA and MCNP6, and results agreed well with no significant statistical difference, however, NeuMANTA needs only half of the calculation time. The accuracy of estimated doses, and complete treatment workflow are the main features in NeuMANTA.
