Info

The future ? • use Monte Carlo to link physical interactions with biological end effects – do we know enough? • how much is from direct radiation interactions at the molecular level (double strand breaks etc from modelling DNA details) • how much is from the chemical reactions induced – these might overwhelm the details of the physical interactions – do we have enough computing power • use of radiobiological models with MC dose distributions to improve radiotherapy 18/21
The future ? • what will the role of GPUs be? Can we get the cheap speed ups for detailed Monte Carlo? • is there a role for Monte Carlo methods other than in radiation transport? 19/21
