Monte Carlo Simulation of a Photon Counting X-Ray Tomographic System
The project aims to develop Monte Carlo simulations of typical XCT3T systems. XCT3T is an Xray imaging system developed by XCounter based on photon counting gaseous avalanche detectors. Simulations of the complete system from Xray source to signal formation in the detectors is performed. Montecarlosimulering av fotonräknande tomografiskt röntgensystem
متن کاملPerformance of three-photon PET imaging: Monte Carlo simulations.
We have recently introduced the idea of making use of three-photon positron annihilations in positron emission tomography. In this paper, the basic characteristics of the three-gamma imaging in PET are studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations and analytical computations. Two typical configurations of human and small animal scanners are considered. Three-photon imaging requires high-energy re...
متن کاملMonte carlo simulation of varian clinac iX 10 MV photon beam for small field dosimetry
Background: The lack of lateral electronic disequilibrium (LED) becomes a main problem in small field. This factor affects the dose in target volume cannot predict correctly. In addition, utilization of high-energy linear accelerator (10 MV) can emit some unwanted particles (electron contamination). Therefore, the aim of this study was to characterize head linear accelerator (linac) Varian Clin...
متن کاملDigital mammography image simulation using Monte Carlo.
Monte Carlo simulations of digital images of the contrast detail phantom and the ACR phantom are presented for two different x-ray digital mammography modalities: a synchrotron mammography system and a next-generation scanning slot clinical system. A combination of variance reduction methods made it possible to simulate accurate images using real pixel dimensions within reasonable computation t...
متن کاملComparison of TOF-PET and Bremsstrahlung SPECT images of Yttrium-90: A Monte Carlo Simulation Study
Objective(s): Yttrium-90 (90Y) is a beta particle nuclide used in targeted radionuclide therapy which is available to both single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and time-of-flight (TOF) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. The purpose of this study was to assess the image quality of PET and Bremsstrahlung SPECT by simulating PET and SPECT images of 90Y using Monte Carlo simu...
