Monte Carlo simulation of secondary neutron dose for scanning proton therapy using FLUKA
Proton therapy is a rapidly progressing field for cancer treatment. Globally, many proton therapy facilities are being commissioned or under construction. Secondary neutrons are an important issue during the commissioning process of a proton therapy facility. The purpose of this study is to model and validate scanning nozzles of proton therapy at Samsung Medical Center (SMC) by Monte Carlo simu...
متن کاملEstimating Reliability in Mobile ad-hoc Networks Based on Monte Carlo Simulation (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Each system has its own definition of reliability. Reliability in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) could be interpreted as, the probability of reaching a message from a source node to destination, successfully. The variability and volatility of the MANET configuration makes typical reliability methods (e.g. reliability block diagram) inappropriate. It is because, no single structure or configurat...
متن کاملDistributions of secondary particles in proton and carbon-ion therapy: a comparison between GATE/Geant4 and FLUKA Monte Carlo codes.
Monte Carlo simulations play a crucial role for in-vivo treatment monitoring based on PET and prompt gamma imaging in proton and carbon-ion therapies. The accuracy of the nuclear fragmentation models implemented in these codes might affect the quality of the treatment verification. In this paper, we investigate the nuclear models implemented in GATE/Geant4 and FLUKA by comparing the angular and...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of Radiation effects in protection layers of logical cell of the digital gate in the FPGA for electron and proton rays Using the FLUKA Code
In this paper, radiation effects in protection layers of logical cell of the digital gate in the FPGA for electron and proton rays was simulated Using the FLUKA Code. by using of the Monte Carlo simulation, the electron and proton transport into the logical cell of the digital gate in the FPGA will be studied. In this simulation, the maximum energy of the electrons and protons at the entrance o...
متن کاملA benchmarking method to evaluate the accuracy of a commercial proton monte carlo pencil beam scanning treatment planning system
AcurosPT is a Monte Carlo algorithm in the Eclipse 13.7 treatment planning system, which is designed to provide rapid and accurate dose calculations for proton therapy. Computational run-time in minimized by simplifying or eliminating less significant physics processes. In this article, the accuracy of AcurosPT was benchmarked against both measurement and an independent MC calculation, TOPAS. S...
