Dose calculation algorithms play a central role for the optimization and verification of treatment plans in radiation therapy. Complex treatment techniques like intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) require accurate and fast dose algorithms especially for clinical cases which involve severe tissue inhomogeneities. For these cases the standard dose engine in current treatment planning systems--the convolution of photon pencil beams--usually fails to predict the dose with the required accuracy. The role of more accurate but time consuming dose calculations like superposition algorithms or Monte Carlo simulations in clinical practice is under investigation at several therapy centers.
