متن کاملDerivation and validation of a sensitivity formula for knife-edge slit gamma camera: A theoretical and Monte Carlo simulation study
Introduction: Gamma cameras are proposed for online range verification and treatment monitoring in proton therapy. An Analytical formula was derived and validated for sensitivity of a slit collimator based on the photon fluence concept. Methods: Fluence formulation was generalized for photons distribution function and solved for high-energy point sources. The...
متن کاملAdaptive Mesh and Algorithm Reenement Using Direct Simulation Monte Carlo
Adaptive Mesh and Algorithm Reenement (AMAR) embeds a particle method within a continuum method at the nest level of an adaptive mesh reenement (AMR) hierarchy. The coupling between the particle region and the overlaying continuum grid is algorithmically equivalent to that between the ne and coarse levels of AMR. Direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) is used as the particle algorithm embeded wit...
متن کاملDetection of Breast Cancer Lumps Using Scattered X-Ray Profiles: A Monte Carlo Simulation Study
The difference in the position of the main scattering peak of adipose and soft tissue has been utilized by many authors for the purpose of differentiating between healthy and malignant excised breast tissue samples. Evans et al 1991 [3] measured the x-ray scattering profiles of nineteen samples of healthy and diseased human breast tissues. They reported that while large differences were found i...
متن کاملEffects of crystal pixel size and collimator geometry on the performance of a pixelated crystal gamma-camera using Monte Carlo simulation.
Dedicated γ-cameras based on pixelated scintillators have long been used for breast tumor imaging. Intercrystal scattering (ICS) increases the background counting rate and degrades the image quality when small crystal pixels are used. Because of the small size of applied collimators, scattered radiation and septal penetration are high, and therefore collimator characteristics must be carefully ...
