      abstract     = {Objective:The purpose of the work presented here was to
                      enable easy access to Monte Carlo dose calculation for both
                      fast neutron therapy and boron neutron capture therapy for
                      research purposes. The dose calculation approach was
                      especially intended to hold high customization potential for
                      individual user applications.Approach:The dose engine is
                      based on the Monte Carlo code MCNP. It is integrated into
                      the MATLAB-based open source research treatment planning
                      software matRad as modular component.Main results:Total dose
                      calculation is enabled for both fast neutron therapy and
                      boron neutron capture therapy on patient CT data. The
                      evaluation of the dose distribution is possible using the
                      matRad graphical user interface and dose volume histograms.
                      Customization options are provided for advanced
                      users.Significance:The open source treatment planning
                      software allows easy access to highly accurate Monte Carlo
                      dose calculation for research projects.},
