This book aims to provide a brief introduction to the history and basics of Monte Carlo simulation, but again has a strong focus on applications in radiotherapy. Since the first edition, Monte Carlo simulation has found many new applications, which are included in detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe applications sections in this book cover the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModelling transport of photons, electrons, protons, and ions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModelling radiation sources for external beam radiotherapy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModelling radiation sources for brachytherapy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign of radiation sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModelling dynamic beam delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatient dose calculations in external beam radiotherapy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatient dose calculations in brachytherapy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse of artificial intelligence in Monte Carlo simulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is intended for both students and professionals, both novice and experienced, in medical radiotherapy physics.
