Monte Carlo method for photon heating using temperature-dependent optical properties
The Monte Carlo method for photon transport is often used to predict the volumetric heating that an optical source will induce inside a tissue or material. This method relies on constant (with respect to temperature) optical properties, specifically the coefficients of scattering and absorption. In reality, optical coefficients are typically temperature-dependent, leading to error in simulation...
متن کاملSimulation of Temperature Distribution in a Continuous Tunnel Reheat Furnace Using the Monte Carlo Method
A mathematical model of a continuous reheating furnace has been developed to identify the design and operating parameters that significantly affect furnace performance. In this study, the furnace is modeled 3 dimensionally and theMonte Carlomethod is used to find the overall absorption factor. The overall absorption factor is then used to calculate the energy balance for furnace walls, the gas,...
متن کاملComparison of ScintSim1 and Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation codes for optical photon transport in thick segmented scintillator arrays
Introduction: Arrays of segmented scintillation crystals are useful in megavoltage x-ray imaging detectors for image-guided radiotherapy. Most previous theoretical studies on these detectors have modelled only ionizing-radiation transport. Scintillation light also affects detector performance. ScintSim1, our previously reported optical Monte Carlo code for such detector...
متن کاملReconstruction of optical properties of low-scattering tissue using derivative estimated through perturbation Monte-Carlo method.
An iterative method for the reconstruction of optical properties of a low-scattering object, which uses a Monte-Carlo-based forward model, is developed. A quick way to construct and update the Jacobian needed to reconstruct a discretized object, based on the perturbation Monte-Carlo (PMC) approach, is demonstrated. The projection data is handled either one view at a time, using a propagation-ba...
متن کاملMonte Carlo calculation of shielding properties of newly developed heavy concretes for megavoltage photon beam spectra used in radiation therapy
Introduction: Globally, the need for radiotherapy as a part of cancer management increases every year. Thus, the shielding for megavoltage radiotherapy rooms is of great importance. Materials and Methods: In the present study, 14 types of developed high-density concrete with densities ranging from 2.45 to 5.11 were simulated by using Monte Carlo method. The linear attenuation coefficient and t...
