Access to accurate treatment planning is required to obtain a reliable dose distribution. Using simulation models as a standard tool in
the optimization of software systems, seems to be efficient and economical. Monte Carlo method is one of the most accurate dosimetry techniques; among the available codes in this method, GATE has a high degree of acceptance among researchers.[1,2,3] GATE code, presented in 2004, is a subset of GEANT4 Monte Carlo code.[4] In the first place, this code was specifically designed for the simulation of nuclear medicine devices;[1,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13] though recently Batimastat it has also been used for radiation Therapy tasks[14,15,16,17,18,19,20] and computed tomography due to its flexibility.[21,22,23] The goal of this project is to provide a software-based control system, for the optimization of dosimetric parameters of LINAC systems, used in radiotherapy centers. To achieve this goal, a 6 MV photon beam of compact linear accelerator (Elekta, Stockholm, Sweden) was simulated using the GATE code.
