Simulations of the passage of radiation through matter are widely used for cancer radiotherapy research and treatment planning. Although sophisticated code systems have been developed, their application can be limited due to long calculation times or conceptual and fundamental limits. The proposed research will address these shortcomings through the development of computational approaches to model the interactions of radiation with matter. Computational tools developed will be applied to advance knowledge of radiation physics and biology, evaluate and improve radiotherapy for cancer, and develop new treatments including radiotherapy with nanodevices.

辐射通过物质的模拟被广泛用于癌症放射治疗研究和治疗计划。 虽然已经开发了复杂的代码系统，但由于计算时间长或概念和基本限制，它们的应用可能受到限制。拟议的研究将通过开发计算方法来模拟辐射与物质的相互作用来解决这些缺点。 所开发的计算工具将用于推进辐射物理学和生物学的知识，评估和改善癌症的放射治疗，并开发新的治疗方法，包括使用纳米设备进行放射治疗。
