description

Initially, the implementation of the macro Monte Carlo (MC) method into Eclipse (Varian Medical Systems), named eMC, was carried out for Varian accelerators only. In this work eMC algorithm has been modified to allow also accurate dose calculations for electron beams for Siemens accelerators.
