Monte Carlo Studies on Proton Computed Tomography using a Silicon Strip Detector Telescope
Monte Carlo computer programs such as the GEANT4 toolkit include precise models of particle interactions and can be an invaluable tool for studying the feasibility of new imaging techniques such as proton computed tomography (pCT). Presented in this paper is a comparison of laboratory data with GEANT4 predictions for the imaging characteristics of a simple metal object using a particle beam and...
متن کاملMonte Carlo evaluation of magnetically focused proton beams for radiosurgery.
The purpose of this project is to investigate the advantages in dose distribution and delivery of proton beams focused by a triplet of quadrupole magnets in the context of potential radiosurgery treatments. Monte Carlo simulations were performed using various configurations of three quadrupole magnets located immediately upstream of a water phantom. Magnet parameters were selected to match what...
متن کاملMacro Monte Carlo for dose calculation of proton beams.
Although the Monte Carlo (MC) method allows accurate dose calculation for proton radiotherapy, its usage is limited due to long computing time. In order to gain efficiency, a new macro MC (MMC) technique for proton dose calculations has been developed. The basic principle of the MMC transport is a local to global MC approach. The local simulations using GEANT4 consist of mono-energetic proton p...
متن کاملbeams: a study with the GEANT4 toolkit
We study the spatial distributions of β-activity produced by therapeutic beams of He and C ions in various tissue-like materials. The calculations were performed within a Monte Carlo model for Heavy-Ion Therapy (MCHIT) based on the GEANT4 toolkit. The contributions from positronemitting nuclei with T1/2 > 10 s, namely 10,11C, N, 14,15O, 17,18F and P, were calculated and compared with experiment...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo pencil beam scanning model for proton treatment plan simulation using GATE/GEANT4.
This work proposes a generic method for modeling scanned ion beam delivery systems, without simulation of the treatment nozzle and based exclusively on beam data library (BDL) measurements required for treatment planning systems (TPS). To this aim, new tools dedicated to treatment plan simulation were implemented in the Gate Monte Carlo platform. The method was applied to a dedicated nozzle fro...
