The “pencil beam” algorithm is dose calculation technique. It assumes that any collimated photon beamhitting (incident) on the patient is actually a conglomeration of lots of smaller, narrow “pencil beams”.Each of these pencil beams has a central axis ray along which it deposits some dose. The dosedeposition pattern varies with the intensity and the spectrum of the beam that is incident on thepatient.

Ausführlicher aber m.E: zu ausführlich deshalb Englisch belassen:
 
PB is a correction‐based algorithm in which dose calculation is performed on an infinitely narrow pencil beam dose distribution. Dose kernels are acquired within a homogeneous medium such as water to calculate the absorbed dose. The PB algorithm takes into account the inhomogeneity correction for the longitudinal direction in the central beam axis but ignores lateral scatter. This condition may cause dose calculation inaccuracies for heterogeneous treatment sites such as the lung or chest wall. A patient's body contains different densities, requiring a correction factor for each beam causing beam attenuation.<sup>2</sup> The PB algorithm is very fast due to its use of a one‐dimensional density correction, which does not accurately model the distribution of secondary electrons in heterogeneous media,<sup>3</sup>, <sup>4</sup> while its limitations in a heterogeneous medium are well known. The PB algorithm considers collimated photon beams incident on the patient as clusters of many small, narrow “pencil beams” each of which has central axis ray deposits with certain doses. The pattern of such dose deposits changes with the intensity and the beam spectrum incident on the patient.<sup>5</sup>

One of the dose calculation techniques for radiotherapy treatment planning. It assumes that any beam incidenting the patient is actually a conglomeration of lots of ‘pencil beams’, and the dose at any point of interest is given as the superposition of all the pencil beams.
