conformal boost to the prostate, using Peregrine, a 3D
Monte-Carlo-based dose calculation system. Monte Carlo simulates the
trillions of radiation particles that enter the body during treatment
and develops a detailed computerized map of the radiation dose the
patient will receive. The technology, developed at the Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory and licensed to NOMOS Corporation, has
received FDA clearance for marketing. Image courtesy of NOMOS and the
