Integration of micro-dosimetry into macro-dosimetry

Sato, Tatsuhiko ; Kase, Yuki*; Watanabe, Ritsuko; Niita, Koji*

We improved the 3-dimensional particle transport simulation code, PHITS, providing it with the capability to estimate the microdosimetric PDs in a macroscopic framework by incorporating a mathematical function that can instantaneously calculate the PDs around the trajectory of HZE particles with a precision equivalent to a microscopic track-structure simulation. A new method for estimating biological dose from charged-particle therapy was established using the improved PHITS coupled with a microdosimetric kinetic (MK) model.
