This thesis aimed to validate the Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm in BrainLab's iPlan treatment planning system, used in conjunction with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) mode of the Varian Novalis TX linear accelerator for clinical use. Specifically, the iPlan algorithm was "benchmarked" by comparing results obtained with a BEAMnrc model developed for the Novalis TX's SRS mode. The BEAMnrc model was obtained by modifying an existing model for a Varian linac to include the different SRS flattening filter and the high definition 120 leaf multi-leaf collimator (HD120 MLC) of the Novalis TX. Characterization of the source model used a recently published procedure to fit beam energy, source size and angular spread, and an existing BEAMnrc Monte Ca...
