Distributions of secondary particles in proton and carbon-ion therapy: a comparison between GATE/Geant4 and FLUKA Monte Carlo codes.
Monte Carlo simulations play a crucial role for in-vivo treatment monitoring based on PET and prompt gamma imaging in proton and carbon-ion therapies. The accuracy of the nuclear fragmentation models implemented in these codes might affect the quality of the treatment verification. In this paper, we investigate the nuclear models implemented in GATE/Geant4 and FLUKA by comparing the angular and...
متن کاملComparison of measured and Monte Carlo calculated dose distributions from “circular collimators” for radiosurgical beams
Background: Stereotactic radiosurgery is an important clinical tool for the treatment of small lesions in the brain, including benign conditions, malignant and localized metastatic tumors. A dosimetry study was performed for Elekta ‘Synergy S ’ as a dedicated Stereotactic radiosurgery unit, capable of generating circular radiation fields with diameters of 1-5 cm at isocentre using the BEAM/EGS4...
متن کاملAn embarassingly parallel framework for running EGSnrc/BEAMnrc/DOSXYZnrc, FLUKA, MCNP/MCNPX, GEANT4 and PENELOPE on grid and cluster computers
We present a computing framework for Monte Carlo simulation of radiation transport. In conformity with our belief that Monte Carlo studies should be anchored to physics but not to any particular code, we have enabled different Monte Carlo codes in this environment. The framework embraces the EGSnrc family, FLUKA, MCNP/MCNPX, GEANT4 and PENELOPE; dedicated and non-dedicated resources; shared and...

متن کاملRadial dose distributions from protons of therapeutic energies calculated with Geant4-DNA.
Models based on the amorphous track structure approximation have been successful in predicting the biological effects of heavy charged particles. Development of such models remains an active area of research that includes applications to hadrontherapy. In such models, the radial distribution of the dose deposited by delta electrons and directly by the particle is the main characteristic of trac...
