A LINear particle ACcelerator (LINAC) simulator employs a Monte Carlo-based use of repeated random sampling to produce a simulated result representing use of a particular physical medical-services LINAC with particular corresponding real-world parameters. A browser-based user opportunity permits uploading at least some of those real-world parameters to employ when using the LINAC simulator to produce the simulated result. By one approach the browser-based user opportunity includes, at least in part, an opportunity to upload a file that contains information regarding geometrical positions for the particular physical LINAC. The opportunity to upload the file may, by one approach, presume using a file format that comprises a non-standard file format for the particular physical medical-services LINAC.
A method comprising:
The method of claim 8 further comprising:
An apparatus comprising:
The apparatus of claim 18 wherein the control circuit is further configured to provide the simulated result to the user via the browser-based user opportunity.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
