abstract={<b> </b> Monte Carlo (MC) is considered as gold standard for dose calculations in radiotherapy. MC dose calculations often require sophisticated computing services with long processing time and this has been an issue for the busy cancer centers. Hence, majority of the treatment planning system include faster dose calculation engines for the daily clinical routine. Due to advancement in technology and computing power, it is now possible to implement MC based dose calculation algorithms in the clinical environment. This report summarizes the major findings of various researchers who have investigated Acuros XB algorithm, which is the MC based dose calculation algorithm commercially available for dose calculations in radiotherapy.},
