Pencil Beam Convolution

Pencil Beam Convolution is a dose calculation algorithm in radiation treatment planning that models radiation deposition by decomposing the incident beam into discrete pencil beams and convolving their energy deposition kernels with the patient's heterogeneous medium to compute three-dimensional absorbed dose distributions.
