Monte Carlo and large angle gluon radiation
We discuss the problem of incorporating recoil effects into the probabilistic QCD evolution scheme based on the picture of colour dipoles as done in recent Monte Carlo programs. Such a scheme correctly describes subleading soft contributions to multiplicity distributions. However we find that a simple receipt for incorporating recoil effects into the dipole multiplication picture conflicts the ...
متن کاملCharacterization of scattered radiation in kV CBCT images using Monte Carlo simulations.
Kilovoltage (kV) cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images suffer from a substantial scatter contribution. In this study, Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are used to evaluate the scattered radiation present in projection images. These predicted scatter distributions are also used as a scatter correction technique. Images were acquired using a kV CBCT bench top system. The EGSnrc MC code was used...
متن کاملEvaluation of the scattered radiation components produced in a gamma camera using Monte Carlo method
Introduction: This paper presents a simulation for evaluation of the scattered radiation components produced in a gamma camera PARK using Monte Carlo code SIMIND. It simulates a whole body study with MDP (Methylene Diphosphonate) radiopharmaceutical based on Zubal anthropomorphic phantom, with some spinal lesions. Methods: The simulation was done by comparing 3 configurations for the detected p...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo study of the energy spectra and transmission characteristics of scattered radiation from x-ray computed tomography.
Existing data used to calculate the barrier transmission of scattered radiation from computed tomography (CT) are based on primary beam CT energy spectra. This study uses the EGSnrc Monte Carlo system and Epp user code to determine the energy spectra of CT scatter from four different primary CT beams passing through an ICRP 110 male reference phantom. Each scatter spectrum was used as a broad-b...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo simulation and dosimetric verification of physical wedges used in radiation therapy
Background: The presence of a wedge filter in the beam trajectory can modify the beam quality and cause some changes in the dosimetry parameters which are usually difficult to be measured directly and accurately. Material and Methods: In this study the MCNP-4C Monte Carlo code was used to simulate the 9 MV photon beam generated by a linear accelerator. Upon getting a good agreement bet...
