Implementation of an efficient Monte Carlo calculation for CBCT scatter correction: phantom study
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images suffer from poor image quality, in a large part due to contamination from scattered X-rays. In this work, a Monte Carlo (MC)-based iterative scatter correction algorithm was implemented on measured phantom data acquired from a clinical on-board CBCT scanner. An efficient EGSnrc user code (egs_cbct) was used to transport photons through an uncorrected ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of Scatter Field for Calculation of Contrast of Discs in Synthetic CDMAM Images
This paper reports on a further development of an image simulation chain, and in particular, the inclusion of contrast degradation across an image using scatter to primary ratios calculated using Monte Carlo simulation. The Monte Carlo technique, using the Geant4 toolkit, has been implemented to model the scatter conditions when imaging the CDMAM phantom with commercial digital mammography. Obs...

Introduction: The role of radiotherapy as a part of cancer management increases every year around the world. Thus, Radiation protection in the design of radiotherapy rooms are of great importance. Materials and Methods: In present study using Monte Carlo method, MCNPX code, fourteen types of developed high density concretes with densities ranging from 2.45 ...
متن کاملFast CPU-based Monte Carlo simulation for radiotherapy dose calculation.
Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations are considered to be the most accurate method for calculating dose distributions in radiotherapy. Its clinical application, however, still is limited by the long runtimes conventional implementations of MC algorithms require to deliver sufficiently accurate results on high resolution imaging data. In order to overcome this obstacle we developed the software-package ...
متن کاملGPU-based fast Monte Carlo simulation for radiotherapy dose calculation.
Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is commonly considered to be the most accurate dose calculation method in radiotherapy. However, its efficiency still requires improvement for many routine clinical applications. In this paper, we present our recent progress toward the development of a graphics processing unit (GPU)-based MC dose calculation package, gDPM v2.0. It utilizes the parallel computation ab...
