CT images were used to define the geometry - a thorax slice from a Rando anthropomorphic
phantom.
The beam used was a photon beam at 6 MV, from a Siemens KD2. The radiation field used was a 15x15 cm2.
Results from GEANT4 were compared with two common commercial treatment planning systems (PLATO and HELAX) and with experimental data taken at CROC-IPO, using LiF TLDs.
