Derivation 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 کاملValidation of the GATE Monte Carlo simulation platform for modelling a CsI(Tl) scintillation camera dedicated to small-animal imaging.
Monte Carlo simulations are increasingly used in scintigraphic imaging to model imaging systems and to develop and assess tomographic reconstruction algorithms and correction methods for improved image quantitation. GATE (GEANT4 application for tomographic emission) is a new Monte Carlo simulation platform based on GEANT4 dedicated to nuclear imaging applications. This paper describes the GATE ...
متن کاملBrownian confidence bands on Monte Carlo output
When considering a Monte Carlo estimation procedure, the path produced by successive partial estimates is often used as a guide for informal convergence diagnostics. However the confidence region associated with that path cannot be derived simplistically from the confidence interval for the estimate itself. An asymptotically correct approach can be based on the Brownian motion approximation of ...
متن کاملAn Approach in Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning: A Fast, GPU-Based Monte Carlo Method
Introduction: An accurate and fast radiation dose calculation is essential for successful radiation radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to implement a new graphic processing unit (GPU) based radiation therapy treatment planning for accurate and fast dose calculation in radiotherapy centers. Materials and Methods: A program was written for parallel runnin...
متن کاملEfficient Monte Carlo Device Modeling
A single-particle approach to full-band Monte Carlo device simulation is presented which allows an efficient computation of drain, substrate and gate currents in deep submicron MOSFETs. In this approach, phase-space elements are visited according to the distribution of real electrons. This scheme is well adapted to a test-function evaluation of the drain current, which emphasizes regions with l...
