O objetivo deste trabalho é publicar os resultados obtidos de um exercício de intercomparação que envolve a modelagem e simulação de um feixe clínico de um acelerador linear de 6 MV em um campo 10x10 cm², utilizando dois diferentes códigos de Monte Carlo, o MCNPx e o EGSnrc. Devido ao grau de complexidade no processo de modelagem da geometria do sistema, a simulação e as respostas obtidas para os parâmetros dosimétricos, PDD20,10 e TPR20,10 foram comparadas com os dados experimentais obtidos no Instituto de Radioterapia e Megavoltagem de Minas Gerais. Os prinicpais desafios sobre a modelagem computacional do sistema foi relacionado e estão discutidos aqui, para fins didáticos na área de modelagem e simulação bem como na área de radioterapia.
